I¡¯ve made nothing but mistakes
|
in my life up ¡®til now
|
I was hoping that the golden bird
|
would pull me out somehow.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And if I could turn back the time
|
That dragged us to your door
|
I would un-live every minute one by one
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
|
Now your picture is forever
|
Burned into my head
|
But I wish that it was me there
|
Lying motionless instead
|
|
And if there was a way that I could
|
Unspill all that blood
|
I would put every drop back in you
|
One by one ¡®til the killing came undone
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
|
Close your eyes and you will see
|
The morning star, I won¡¯t follow where you are
|
I am destined for the corner
|
And the darkness beyond
|
And the darkness beyond
|
|
Well I knew what I was doing
|
But I knew not why
|
I suppose I must have hated someone
|
Else from days gone by
|
And if I had another chance to live through that dark night,
|
I would un-shoot every bullet one by one
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I¡¯m ashamed of what I¡¯ve done but I must face it now
|
And the life that I have taken
|
I know nothing can replace it now,
|
But if I had a thousand of my own lives to lay down
|
I would lay them all down for you one by one
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
¡®til the killing came undone
|
|
[Chorus]
|
