Rosebuds, The - My Punishment For Fighting lyrics

rate me

The street lights flicker the bright ideal

The breath of lovers shout like clicking heels

The kids are running, a boundlessness I once knew

A bigger man would have to fall if guilt drained all his youth

Follow the river past the city gate

Near the county access is where I'll wait

And it's just a nightmare 'cause I'll never again see you

A bigger man would surely fall if he lost his love too

I could never be all you need me to

My punishment is living without you

I could never leave and come to comfort you

My guilt is not your burden now that you know it's true

Dress yourself in courage when you go down there

Tell the county courthouse just where I'll be

And don't ever look back, run as far as you can go

'Cause I'll never be able to love anymore

I could never be all you need me to

My punishment is living without you

I could never leave and come back home to you

Don't suffer for my fighting, don't sacrifice your view

I could never leave and come to comfort you

My punishment is living without you

I could never give a simple life to you

Don't suffer for my fighting, don't sacrifice your own view
