lyrics

In the quiet of the morning I can see the error of my ways
Somehow the dawn distills it down to black and white
I cast a look out at the yard as the past comes
flooding in like rain, forgotten ’til today.

If I only had a dollar for each time I didn’t think twice
I’d be a wealthy woman now but what’s the point
of wishing for a second chance I’d likely
do it all again, beginning to end

It’s faded now but there are remnants of the rise and fall
I waited there but now I’m wondering what for

I tried too hard, too hard
I tried for what, for what
