A song of reflection and some regret.

lyrics

The Only Things I Ever Cried About

Looking down the roadway
Trying to find my own way
Back home, along the road I've been
See the same old places
Kicking over traces
Of the past, and all that I have seen
Some girls I might have known and loved
Some boys, I might have been so tough
Some friends I would've never let cry
But some things you just can't untie

And you might want to know
Where did those old times go?
Well I don't know but they're hard to live without
And I'd do anything
Just to have them back again
They’re the only things I ever cried about
Oh they're the only things I ever cried about

Feels like someone's lying
I can't face the truth for trying
To forget all the things that I've done wrong
I hope to God I'm given
A chance to be forgiven
A choice, along the road I’m on
Some words I might never have used
Some lips I might’ve better refused
Sometimes I should’ve said goodbye
But some things you just can't untie

And you might want to know
Where did those old times go?
Well I don't know but they're hard to live without
And I'd do anything
Just to have them back again
They’re the only things I ever cried about
Oh they're the only things I ever cried about
