lyrics: It wasn’t all the hard living finally did you down.
It wasn’t all the hard drugs that turned your head around.
It was all the stupid words you spoke pretending they were true.
It was all the plans you laid out large not knowing what to do.
If running to the left stops you running to the right,
at least you’re running straight, man, you know that’s half the fight.
And if running to yourself is your plan of last defense,
then running to yourself, boy, just might save you yet.

Forgive my body, it’s breaking.
Forgive me my hands, they’re shaking.
Forgive all those words you love like lies.

The nights are getting hard for me, it’s hard to still my mind.
I’m always thinking ugly thoughts, I’m always shooting wide.
And sleeping when I should be wild and grabbing for a piece
of every god-damned waking hour the good lord gave to me.
For the first time in a long time, man, I got down on my knees
and raised a fist toward the sky and shook it in the breeze
and caught some empty air and opened my hands to set it free
‘cause nothing’s worth much praying for if it’s never to be seen.

Forgive my body, it’s breaking.
Forgive me my hands, they’re shaking.
Forgive all those words you love like lies.
Please forgive my bones, they’re breaking.
Forgive me my soul, it’s waking.
Please forgive my love, I love like lies.
