The Fog

The Fog

 I got myself into a mess
 These last few months it seems
 The words I said and what I did
 Ain't exactly what I mean
 There comes a time when feelings die
 And the only thing left is a friend
 So we part ways, on our own
 Pain drifts as time will mend
 (Chorus 1)
 And I don't want to lead you around
 truth be told I done lead myself
 I done enough you're wearin' the frown
 As I put you up high on the shelf
 Days go by I realize just what it is we done
 You say I try to hide, turn my tail and run
 that's not it, you never made your stand
 Not even when I stood and held your hand
 (Chorus 2)
 I don't want to lead you around
 You never tried to be yourself
 Too many times, you laid down and died
 In the end it's the hand you dealt
 Here we are, the fog rolled right in
 You say I quit and let you go
 That may be true, but I still love you
 Why didn't you step up and show
 (Chorus 3)
 And I remember yesterday
 The thought of us and your smiling face
 If the road remained unchanged
 Maybe we'd be in a different place
