lyrics

How could she ever love a boy who couldn't understand? Would he ever walk into church with a gun in his hand? A gentle man who thought the world revolved around him. Her heart was patient and her body was covered with scabs. She took him by the hand as he took another stab. A fragile girl who felt all the pain in the world. The apologies of a gentle man with a heart full of love and a gun in his hand, and the tears of a woman who had given her heart to the forest, to the stars, to the man in the dark. The apologies uttered recklessly rang hollow through the trees and the rocks and the leaves, but an angel lifted him and brushed the dirt off his sleeves and he went to the river and he fell to his knees. A helpless man who recognized the killer inside, and realized who he was and began to cry.
