Walking Wounded
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Out amongst the walking wounded
Every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her
And nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew
You know I'm never gonna let you go
No I'm never gonna let you go
And now I know I had a choice
Though you never made it clear to me
I thought you never felt it deeply
Now I'm never gonna let you go
No, I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I could have loved you forever
I could have loved you forever
What do you want from me?
You're trying to punish me
Punish me for loving you
Punish me for giving to you
Punish me for nothing I do
Punish me for nothing
Punish me for nothing, for nothing
Out amongst the walking wounded
Every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her
And nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew
You know I'm never gonna let you go
Now I'm never gonna let you go
Now I know I had a choice
Though you never made it clear to me
I thought you never felt it deeply
Now I'm never gonna let you go
No, I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I could have loved you forever
I could have loved you forever
Or I could have left you forever
I could have left you forever
What do you want from me?
Are you trying to punish me?
Punish me for loving you
Punish me for giving to you
Punish me for nothing I do
Punish me for nothing
Punish me for nothing, nothing
Out amongst the walking wounded
Every face on every bus
Is you and me and him and her
And nothing can replace the us I knew
Nothing can replace the us I knew
Out amongst the walking wounded
Every face on every train
Is you and me and him and her
Some days I think I could go insane
Some days I think I could go insane
