"Water And Bridges" lyrics

There's things I know I should've mentioned sooner
But I didn't know how, I'm sorry I lost you
I never thought that this could come between us
I know it's water and bridges now
But what's the sense of carrying around this weight?
These words are tearing me apart

And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance

That face, I know exactly what you're thinking
But I'm certain this time is different
And that's why I can't pretend that everything is mended
I know I've tried to for too long now
But what's the sense in carrying around this weight?
These words are tearing us apart

And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance

Oh, save me from a gray life
Oh, save me from the gray life
I've paid the price with my soul
Oh, save me

And that's enough for the back to break
That's enough for a life to take
But I've been paying for it since I drove my girl away
And that's the sign of a solemn man
I'll make the best of the best I can
And I'll be better for it if I ever get my chance

If I ever get my chance, if I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
