I Had This Thing

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 had this thing to call my own...

Just one slip and it was gone...

A minor flaw and then it fell,

I brought this house down on myself...

I didn't know just what I'd done...

I didn't know just what I'd done...

I don't remember anymore what I used to be...

Where is the quiet piece of home where I could breathe?

Just like a razor to my soul when I'm alone...

Oh, I had this thing to call my own...

I'm so confused, I cannot see...

This wave of guilt is drowing me

It feels like blood is on my hands...

I'd give it all for a second chance...

I still don't know just what I've done...

I still don't know just what I've done...

I don't remember anymore what I used to be...

There was a fire burning strong inside of me...

Just like the soothing loving warmth of summer sun...

Oh, I had this thing to call my own...

I had this thing to call my own...

I had this thing to call my own...

I never meant to let you go...

I never meant to let you go...

I never meant to let you go...

I never meant to let you go...
