Lyrics

Feeling cold inside
But I don't want to be the man that you remember
As the one who came around and let you down
And I hurt your pride
But I don't want to be the man that you remember
As the one who came around and broke your crown

I know I broke the hearts of many
And I'll carry this cross and I'm wearing this crown
Not sure if there is any
Any love left in me to go around
Any more in this town

It's the same old game
And I don't want to have to think about or try to figure out
What we could have had or what might have been
I can take the pain
But I don't think I'll ever forget what it's like to regret
Knowing you won't come around again
And I don't feel so proud of it
'Cause you know after all, you know I know what I've done
And I don't talk so loud about it
How I wronged every one
How I wronged every one
Every one that I've loved

I know I broke the hearts of many
And I'm bearing this cross and I'm wearing this crown
Not sure if there is any
Any love left in me to go around
Any more in this town
