Shipwrecked Mind - The Field

Excuse me mister
Have you got a light
Cuz the one in me went out last night
When she trashed herself, and left me to rust
Choking on the clouds of ash and dust
Thrown up from his tires, spinning out our dirt road
Taking and making a house out of this home
Don’t be sorry that my tears are gone
Because the perfect night still has its dawn

You said I was a burden
Your friends say I’m a plague
And my demons remind me
I’d be better off dead
But I love you and wish you the best for your life
Even if it costs me, you, my light
I wish I were a better man
I wish I would have known
Where my love for you fell short
And where I could have grown
I’m sorry I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry I’m a mess
The other man’s a lucky one
I wish you both the best

Don’t be sorry
That your tears are gone
I’ll bear your darkness
And carry on
In hopes that one day soon you’ll see
Just what it means to feel like me
My only lot left in this life
Is to till this field of pain and strife
Cuz I’ve got nowhere else for me to go
I plant my failures in the sod
Drowning neck deep in my own thoughts
As my doubts n’ fears begin to grow

Don’t be sorry
That your tears are gone
I’ll bear your darkness
And carry on
In hopes that one day soon you’ll see
Just how it feels to be like me

Emotions so deep my insides are twisting
My brains’ overtaken, my lips lose all feeling
I’m quivering, bare, but what do you care
Would it be better if I just stopped breathing?
I wish I would have seen the signs
I wish I would have known
Where my love fell short for you and
Where we could have grown
I’m sorry I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry I’m a mess
But I’ll love you til the very end
I wish you both the best
Don’t be sorry
That your tears are gone
I’ll bear your darkness
And carry on
In hopes that one day soon you’ll see
Just how it feels to be like me
