Had to find some higher ground

had some fear to get around

you can't say what you don't know

later on won't work no more

last time through I hid my tracks

so well I could not get back

yeah my way was hard to find

can't sell your soul for peace of mind

(Chorus:)

square one, my slate is clear

rest your head on my my dear

took a world of trouble, took a world of tears

it took a long time to get back here

try so hard to stand alone

struggle to see past my nose

always has more dogs than bones

I could never wear those clothes

It's a dark victory

you won and you also lost

told you she was satisfied

but it never came across

(chorus x3)
