Bonnie Raitt - The Ones We Couldn't Be lyrics

Your rating:

It's hard to say now who left first, it used to seem so clear

You and I were tangled from the start

Somehow the scales just fell away and I'm left standing here

Blown open in the hole that was my part



I wrap the dark around me, there's no solace here tonight

Just wishing and regret for company

My glass is raised for all the ways we tried to get it right

And I'm sorry for the ones we couldn't be

I'm so sorry for the ones we couldn't be



Looking through these photographs searching for a clue

How you and I got tangled from the start

Not even blood could forge a bond enough to get us through

Or stem the tides that pulled us far apart



I'm sorry for the ways I couldn't give you what you needed

For all the ways I strung us both along

They say it goes both ways and I suppose I could concede it

Seems to matter more now that you're gone



And though it seems much kinder just to leave some things unsaid

Like all the ways I tore myself apart

If you really want forgiveness, you better try the truth instead

It may not be enough, but it's a start



I wrap the dark around me and there's no solace here tonight

There's just wishing and regret for company

My glass is raised for all the ways we tried to get it right

And I'm sorry for the ones we couldn't be

I'm so sorry for the ones

Sorry for the ones

I'm sorry for the one I couldn't be
