13 years, 13 years
Holding tight for 13 years.
So many tears, so many tears
How I fought against my fears.
Bleeding hearts, bleeding hearts,
Pounding deep within my chest
Forget the rest, forget the rest,
It's best if we go and part
Enemies? Friends? The lines were blurry
And though we tried to make it work
13 years, 13 years,
It's not a decision one made in a hurry
I hope you find peace
I hope you find her,
The maiden with the golden hair,
I hope she makes you smile
And gives you a child,
With skin dark or fair,
Because for 13 years, 13 years
I could never be that one
For 13 years, for 13 years,
Who would bare you a son.
For 13 years, 13 years,
I held on so tight
And for 13 years, 13 years,
I knew something wasn't right
Two lost and battered souls
Tossed about due to life,
For 13 years, yes, 13 years
We stitched each other together with a knife
I hurt you, you hurt me
It was never meant to be
But for 13 years we gave it our all,
Dear god, we tried...
But 13 years, yes 13 years
Was all written away by how we lied.
I couldn't trust you
You wouldn't trust me
So now this is how
It must be.
May your next 13 years be better
May she be everything you dreamed
Maybe it won't take me 13 years
To repair all my ripped seams.
