In My Bones

(albüm: Atlanta - 2012)

I thought I saw an angel, calling me across the yard,
She said “Baby, it's been real, but now I'm gone.”
I should've known much better, you can't tame something that wild;
When I asked her if she loved me, she just smiled.

It's my fault, I don't care,
I can't hate you if you're not here,
Once you go, never, ever turn around.

I have sacrificed, and then I burned,
Oh, you gotta live before you learn.
I wanted the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts.

My angel with her dirty wings, she used to make me smile,
But she kept all of her secrets locked inside,
In a place I could not reach her, though I tried with all my might,
And when I begged for something real she said goodbye.

It's my fault, I don't care,
I can't hate you if you're not here,
Once you go, never, ever turn around.

I have sacrificed, and then I burned,
Oh, you gotta live before you learn.
I wanted the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts.

And I am sure I'll be just fine,
If I remember she wasn't ever mine.
And I am sure I'll be just fine,
If I remember she wasn't ever mine.

And the truth about the two of us, is we don't make no sense,
When we made love, our love was just pretend.
Now I'm trying to forget her, though I feel her in my bones,
And I wonder if she thinks of me at all.

It's my fault, I don't care,
I can't hate you if you're not here,
Once you go, never, ever turn around.

I have sacrificed, and then I burned,
Oh, you gotta live before you learn.
I wanted the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts.
And I wanted the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts.
