Helplessly Lost

Well, I'm sorry for the time that I've been taking

And the lines that I've crossed

The mess that I've been making

And for everything you've lost

The heart that I've been breaking

For the damage and the cost

Oh, forgive me, darling

I am helplessly lost

I'm sorry for the stories that I told you

And the lies that I spoke

The future that I sold you

And the promises I broke

For the love that I've been taking

Warmed with nothing but the frost

Oh, forgive me, darling

I am helplessly lost

How many deals will I make

With the devil? What's it take for

A foolish man to learn?

How many years will I go

Setting fire to all I know

Just to watch the city burn?

Oh, my dear, we've reached a river we can't cross

So leave me here for I am helplessly lost
