Softer Years
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.
Barely old enough to know what life's about
But you think you know just enough to know you want out
No shoulder to rest your weary head
You curse the beauty that brought you to their beds
Wish I could tread where fools hadn't been
Go back to before the cold set in
Before you were scarred by the tracks of your tears
I wish I could've known you in your softer years
Your hair smells like a cigarette
Have you been doin' things you will come to regret
I tried to resist you, but now I'm part of your shame
But l won't be a player in our worn out game
Wish I could tread where fools hadn't been
Go back to before the cold set
Before you were scarred by the track of your tears
I wish I could've known you in your softer years
Wish I could take away the rage
Oh, but you still hold it in your black embrace
Wish I could tread where fools hadn't been
Go back to before the cold set in
Before you were scarred by the track of your tears
I wish I could've known you in your softer years
