Lyrics

I Never Could Sing

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 wonder if I'm getting through

The silence around you

Maybe your cruelty enslaved me

Well I don't ask much

Not as much as you

I just wanted somebody to come home to

I thought that it would be him

But maybe I've still got some questions

But they got no answers

There are no saints

There are no sinners

There is no song without a singer

So play me some chords and I'll sing you a tune

But it won't be pretty

I never could sing anyway

I know I

I never could sing anyway

Black smoke rises in a distant sky

The silence is my lullaby

You know how solitude can sooth me

As I draw the curtains I open my eyes

It's written on the wall ten foot high

You know the truth and now so do I

Or maybe you got all the answers

I've got no more questions

There are no saints

There are no sinners

There is no song without a singer

There are no losers and no winners

There is no song without a singer

So let me go

Let me go...

I never could sing anyway (let me go)

You know I (let me go)
