"Jane" lyrics

"Jane"

I'm sick of feeling like I lost this fight
Sick of graying out the wrongs and rights
I'm pulling out of here to clear my sights
Tonight, tonight, alright, alright

Hear me out baby and dry your eyes
I'd write it out but it would just seem trite
I'm pulling out of here with holy spite
Tonight, tonight, alright, alright

But I've got this guitar and I can barely play

How could we have known about what was in store?
You never pictured me walk out this door
I guess we didn't know just what we swore
Down at the broke down reservoir

Could we have one more shot for both our sakes?
Can we slow it down and give not take
If you can't forgive me for my mistakes
My heart will break, my heart will break

See I've got my guitar that I can barely play
And I betray a piece of your heart each time I go away
But redemption comes harder when you're choosing not to pray

We can't stay innocent if we just run and hide
No remedy for scars and tears you've cried
My mind would ease if you told me your heart
Won't change if you knew that I tried, yeah

Yeah, hey, reeyauh

I'm sick of feeling like I lost this fight
Sick of graying out the wrongs and rights
I'm pulling out of here to clear my sights
Tonight, tonight, alright, alright

Hear me out baby and dry your eyes
I'd write it out but it would just seem trite
I'm out of here with holy spite
Alright, alright

But I've got this guitar and I could never play
Now I've broken your heart, cause I never chose to stay
And my redemption's in ruins, cause you never heard me say

We can't stay innocent if we just run and hide
No remedy for scars and tears you've cried
My mind would ease if you told me your heart
Won't change if you knew that I tried

We just run and hide
All the tears you cried
My mind's a mess 'cause you told me your heart's changed and
You don't know, don't know if I tried
If I tried
