Fences Songtext
You always were my refuge, were my shoulder,
There was always a place to lay my head,
And I should have taken your hand, should've held it as we stumbled,
But I let it slip, I let it go instead.

For I cannot give you as much as I owe you,
I don't have enough love to pay my debts,
I thought I'd have aplenty, but now I see I'm pretty empty,
And the longer we linger the worse it gets.
So I'll plant fences round my dwelling like a garden,
And wrap chains around my body like a cloak.
And I'll bite my tongue and ask him for forgiveness,
For the hearts and vows and promises I broke.

Don't you waste a tear for me,
Don't you waste your time with me,
Don't you waste your life for me.
Don't you waste a tear for me,
Don't you waste your time with me,
Don't.
