Mea Culpa Lyrics

	We shared a common trade of reasoning out the years
	Of failed affections and faces to forget
	You should have told me
	That the ties that made it all worth the while
	Were quickly becoming a race to the blame.
	I tried to gain the advantage over you
	It's plain to see there’s nothing I could do or say
	I tried to gain the advantage over you
	A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain.
	I could feel it coming
	Like a train wreck, rumbling off the tracks
	With every ounce of strength
	I strained to pay back that dirty money
	And the fortune abstract, but there’s no feeling left intact
	For the victim is now a god,
	Doling out judgment, strike with divining rod.
	I don't want to get involved, looks like you're doing fine
	But when I lay up at night, I can feel your eyes
	And I can see your eyes, and I go rushing in to a world inside
	Where there's none in between, and nothing can be denied
	Struck down and stripped of pride,
	That I could forgive you for once in our lives
	But I failed, and I don't know why, I'll never know why
	I failed and I don't know why.
	I tried to gain the advantage over you
	It's plain to see there’s nothing I could do or say
	I tried to gain the advantage over you
	A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain.
