Let Me Speak

About the fallout of a major argument started over previously inconsequential matters

I'm on the run

Your words have sent me on the back foot

The devil jumped off my shoulder

And now he's just walking around

As if I haven't 

Caused enough damage in this town

Let me speak

The words you hear are as you find them

Another repeat

Of the other times I've loved and lost

I'm sorry for my pride

My refusal to let the ghosts die

I'm sorry for my stubborn resolve

For bringing my malice

Back to life

I'm losing you

Your tears send me to a broken place

The angels have flown away

And now I'm walking around

Shedding the memories

Of the damage done in this town

Let me try 

To find a enduring solution

Another truth buried tonight

Still a world away

From absolution

I'm sorry for my pride

My refusal to let the ghosts die

I'm sorry for my stubborn resolve

For bringing my malice

Back to life
