Three Things from Ate by Danger Painters

Three Things (Lyrics by Kevin Lay)

Don’t that boy look lonely
Don’t that gal look lost
Both thinking
How if only
I could make it across

Did I ever lie to your face
Did I ever sell you dope
Did I ever promise you clarity
Or was it just some rope

I know I shoulda come
I know I shoulda cared
I coulda been your mirror
If only
You were there
And I coulda prayed
But I was scared
I’d be left to hang
Left to hang right here

Did I ever cheat your faith
Or ever deny you hope
Did I ever steal your charity
Or was that just some Pope

Now that mirror’s broken
Now that star done fall
Don’t go thinking
If only
We hadn’t tried at all
No don’t go thinking
If only
We hadn’t tried at all
