The Fog

I got myself into a mess

These last few months it seems

The words I said and what I did

Ain't exactly what I mean

There comes a time when feelings die

And the only thing left is a friend

So we part ways, on our own

Pain drifts as time will mend

(Chorus 1)

And I don't want to lead you around

truth be told I done lead myself

I done enough you're wearin' the frown

As I put you up high on the shelf

Days go by I realize just what it is we done

You say I try to hide, turn my tail and run

that's not it, you never made your stand

Not even when I stood and held your hand

(Chorus 2)

I don't want to lead you around

You never tried to be yourself

Too many times, you laid down and died

In the end it's the hand you dealt

Here we are, the fog rolled right in

You say I quit and let you go

That may be true, but I still love you

Why didn't you step up and show

(Chorus 3)

And I remember yesterday

The thought of us and your smiling face

If the road remained unchanged

Maybe we'd be in a different place
