carried it from town to town not because I wanted - because I had to tried to bury it deep where roots would choke tried to drown it where fish forget but every time I came back home like I never left -like it never left the chest of my mistakes the chest of my mistakes this one's mine -alone this one's mine - alone not afraid to lift the lid -lived through all of it rainy nights we sit -wood and flesh, no fit not friends -bar strangers who've seen too much no polished truth, no lie to touch it holds my cracks, it knows my name and I know it won't give them back again the chest of my mistakes the chest of my mistakes this one's mine -alone this one's mine -alone every version I sold myself -every frame I polished well it sits there -that bastard -remembers every name of wounds I hid, of bridges burned no use for stories now - it was there, it saw it knows the truth I tried to bend and sits there smiling - till the end we made a deal one night if love comes real -I'll show the light the chest of my mistakes the chest of my mistakes this one's mine - alone this one's mine -alone piece by piece -not all at once till even heavy comes undone if it empties - God be kind i'll leave that bastard far behind the chest of my mistakes the chest of my mistakes this one's mine -alone this one's mine -alone the chest of my mistakes one day - empty and I'll still be here without it - finally me lyrics by rrave
