"The Gallows" lyrics

"The Gallows"

Who's got it all compared to who's got enough
All I ever wanted was true love
And who's got it right
Cause l feel I've got it wrong
All these people walking around not knowing what they've done

And you seem to know what you think we should be
And I've tried for you for so long
If only you could see
And if you've got the cure
Could you give it here to me?
I've been paying for this loneliness when loneliness is free

Singing
Bring me to the gallows
Oh bring me to my knees
I'm still paying for all my mistakes
But one day, girl, you'll see
Who I'm trying to be

You can tell me I'm wrong
But l see right through your games
You can leave me with the questions
You can leave me with the pain
And you can take control
And leave me with the blame
You can take away my son but you can't take away his name

Singing
Bring me to the gallows
Oh bring me to my knees
I'm still paying for all my mistakes
But one day, girl, you'll see
Who I'm trying to be

I said bring me to the gallows
Oh, just bring me to my knees
I'm still paying for all my mistakes
But one day, girl, you'll see
Who I'm trying to be

Who I'm trying to be
Said I'm trying to be
More than you and me
I'm trying to be
