Lyrics
12 Steps
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.
I said something cruel, I can't say I quite regret it
Twelve steps into the smoking bar, I found you
Clothes engulfed in a bonfire I begged you to my room
Begging still, all these years
Oh, looking back
How did I keep moving?
Didn’t know that half of me was missing
It’s easy to leave, easy to leave
So tell me: I can’t blame you, we let love run its course
And it's a little bit lonelier
I don’t blame you, it's just our love ran its course
And that's a little bit hard
Oh, looking back
Wasn’t a thing to keep me
From running around in the wreckage that burned all season
It was easy to leave, when you’d finally seen me
Now tell me: I can’t blame you, it's just that love ran its course
And it's a little bit lonelier
I don't blame you, we let love run its course
And it's a little bit hard
I can't blame you, he's the one that you wanted
Singing scenes from a restaurant
I can’t blame you, it's just our love ran its course
And it's a love that's long gone
