lyrics

Undone

It was a welcome start to a worn-down heart,
it was a chance to begin again
And I left behind that sheltered mind
and I proceeded to come in out of the rain

Just a simple man with a well made plan
whose been drifting out over the edge
I’ve been cursed, I’ve been sold and I’ve been left in the cold
I’ve been a brother, a son and a friend

But it’s wild out there, they just point and stare
And I’ve been waiting for so long
When it seems to fade I just hesitate
For I can never be who you want
I am undone

I’ve bought books I ain’t read and talked myself out of bed
I’ve travelled miles and never got that far
I counted colours in the dark, worked seven years but never hard
And they almost took all I had left

I signed my name to get paid, I put my shame in the shade
I felt the failure but I kept my head high
I turned my eyes to the words Mr Henley observed
And I never had to question why

But it’s wild down there, they just point and stare
And I’ve been falling for so long
When it seems to fade I just hesitate
For I can never be what you want
I am undone

There are people I’ve known, over many street I’ve roamed
And with each step we have grown further apart
I’ve played the sinner, I’ve played the saint, I’ve been bent out of shape
I was convinced I needed more than I had

And I drank to forget all the hours I’ve spent
just wishing I was a better man
I’ve been crossed, I’ve been saved
I’ve been loved and I’ve been betrayed
I’ve been shepherded here by your hand

But it’s wild in here, they just point and stare
And I’ve been searching for so long
When it seems to fade I just hesitate
For I can never be who you want
I am undone
