A Tiring Day Letra

Don't accept the pain we're making.

Believe it, receive it
You probably can't retrieve it.
Mistreat me, don't greet me
Cut down the strings that lead me.

I've walked away before
to turn around my life.
To try and make things right,
learn not to twist the knife.

If I say what's on my mind,
you'll take it the wrong way.
If I keep it all inside,
we'll last another day.

The things that you believe
won't scar me anymore.
If you say what's on your mind,
I'm walking out the door.

We haven't grown apart,
just fallen through the cracks.
We'll make it back somehow
We'll rebuild what we lack.

Shame before me, blame ignore me
I'll face them both today.
Peace surround you, release has found you
You'll need them both one day.

Too tired to talk, too tired to think
Help me pray the boat won't sink.
The anchor is dropped, the rope my prop
The pathway is long with nowhere to stop.

I don't believe that you don't believe me.
If your eyes are closed then how can you see me?
Walking in circles will get you nowhere
Everyone knows that life isn't fair.

I realize that the past is gone now...
wish I could have changed things somehow.
Walking the path that takes me back home
Each day makes me feel like my life is on hold.

Whatever you say won't affect me today
The rope that's been holding me down is much too frayed.
I'm turned inside out with the failure I feel
I've lost all my sight of what's fake and what's real.

Our story's been told and time has run out
We waited too long to write ourselves out.
The puzzle is shattered and pieces lay scattered about...
a fitting end to a tiring day.

Shame before me, blame ignore me
I'll face them both today.
Peace surround you, release has found you
You'll need them both one day.

Too tired to talk, too tired to think
Help me pray the boat won't sink.
The anchor is dropped, the rope my prop
The pathway is long with nowhere to stop.
