lyrics

The dawn dried your eyes with a sign from above
He sent out the raven, it came back a dove
He says, "The cage doors are open, we both served our time
You gave me your punishments, now I give you my crime"

Seems like you spent these years waiting for him to stop holding back
It's like he moved in with something that he never unpacked
He says, "I'm sorry dear lady, I think we both thought
I would come 'round eventually, but it seems I would not"

He says, "I'm sorry dear lady, I'm weak with my will
You gave me your throne, but I could not sit still
You gave me your bed, but I could not find rest
I'm sorry dear lady, I gave it my best"

Well, you know he's been lying, but you're not sure just when
What he's saying here this morning, or what he said way back then
He says, "A man makes a promise, at some point it breaks
And he can't tell on which end he made his mistakes"

He says, "I'm sorry dear lady, I failed you, I know
I should have left early, but I just couldn't go"
Too late to be right, too old to be strong
He says, "I'm sorry dear lady, I love you too long"
