Short on Penance Lyrics

I couldn't look at my reflection

Cause I heard what it would say

That I knew this day would come

And I wouldn't be ok

I chose to let you go

I tried to outrun the pain

Like trying to stay dry

Standing under pouring rain

Cold water seeps into bone

I crumble like salt

And you sink like a stone

I'm still short

On the penance I owe

My love

I look at you now

With nothing to say

Fighting the urge

To beg you not to go

Please don't go

Won't you forgive me now

I tried to outrun the pain

Like trying to stay dry

Standing under pouring rain

Cold water seeps into bone

I crumble like salt

And you sink like a stone

I'm still short

On the penance I owe

My love

Like leaves of spring

Thought I was brave

But I just fall to the ground

When seasons change

Only trees can make it through the winter

Stoic and strong, you always gave me shelter

I was wrong, I was wrong

It was you all along

It was you all along

Cold water seeps into bone

I crumble like salt

And you sink like a stone
