  • I made a mistake
    I should have never tried
    I took the cake
    Finished every slice
    I moved away
    Still playing off the fights
    For every day
    I share our love delight

    I stare at the face
    Looking through my eyes
    I move at a pace
    That I cannot survive
    I'm hauling away
    I do it all the time
    Let love age
    And watch it burn out and die

    I woke to the sound of dogs
    To the sound of distant shots and passing trucks
    We woke with the mourning sound
    It's the sound of distant shots and passing trucks
    We woke with the mourning sound
    It's the sound of distant shots and passing trucks

    I own the faith
    Could never have denied
    This isn't a place
    Where I can even try
    I'm hauling away
    I do it all the time
    Let love age
    And watch it burn out and die

    We woke with the mourning sound
    It's the sound of distant shots and passing trucks
    We woke with the mourning sound
    It's the sound of distant shots and passing trucks
    We woke with the mourning sound
    It's the sound of distant shots and passing trucks Writer/s: Christopher Michael Taylor, Christopher Robert Bear, Daniel Raphael Rossen, Edward F Droste
