So strip away all of my shadows   And light me up bnrighter than the sun   My hands are stong from building these gallows   Many will be left hanging before my time here is done   Before my time is done   Before my time is done      Well I could show you no merciful side again   I could just hold you, wouldn't that be nice?   One thing I know by now is that in the end   You can never swim in the same river twice   Trying, you're wasting your time      And I don't know why god made me this way   (And I'm so sorry)   I don't know how much more I can take   (And I'm so sorry)   You know it's always my mistake   (And I'm so sorry)   And I'll be sorry when I break you      So take high, fly me over the mountains   Cry of the raven and the scream of the dove   And I'll be gone on the wings of the eagles   High road behind me, left everything that I loved   All of the things I loved      Oh I don't know why god made me this way   (And I'm so sorry)   I don't know how much more I can take   (And I'm so sorry)   You know it's always my mistake   (And I'm so sorry)   And I'll be sorry when I see that you're gone   Gone away   Like a god gone astray   Not a word    will be spoken    of how it broke me when I saw you broken   Broken   Broken   When I broke you      Want it all but Can't pay the bill   Just staring out my little window sill   My companion, one colorful pill   Nobody cares about what they can't kill
