Lyrics
Before bed I'd read them the letters
Though they could not understand
I seemed to hear your voice coming through them
Oh, I was so excited to see you
Knew what I was gonna wear
I picked my outfit out for months before
Lord help me, I've tried
Tried to stand before you
But you're not of the same mind
That carried me to our bed
And I look so hard right at you
For some sign that you're coming back
I went to fight, gave it all I could
For thะต common man, for the common good
But what I actually did was unspeakablะต
The man I was is far from sight
Too many wrongs can't make a right
I don't want to ruin your memory of me
God help me, I've tried
Tried to stay alive
For the sake of my pride
And the wee ones at home
But now I can't shut my eyes
'Cause then I'll see it all again
God save me, I've tried
Tried to relieve you
I left the rope tied
In the chair in the corner by my bed
I don't want to live, but I can't leave you
