lyrics

I owe you several apologies,
I was dreaming of better days,
I wash one's dirty laundry in a song nobody cares,
My hands shake, shaking these days,
I feel so close to the end,
My heart is growing old, the clock ticks by,
Staring at the ship starting to sink,

Oh where you off to?
I'm covered in dust of my days,
I was dreaming of you,
Torn into pieces, now my heart's healed,
This silhouette is unfamiliar,
You got the part so show me what you got,

Why do you lose your ways?
I'm like this everyday,
I just follow the one who leads us the wrong way,
I consider myself somewhere between love and anger,

Suffocating on your jaded ways,
You suck at being the anchor,
Can't you hear our needs or what?
Don't go down with the ship,
With wind in it's sails, set the rudder,
Play the part you chose, please don't go down,

My heart is growing old, the clock ticks by,
Staring at the ship starting to sink,
I got old and grey, now a mother,
Always trying to better than how you lead.
