Keeping Me From Guessing

Drifting on a boat headed in from sea
Waves from wind unfold
Make you wanna flee
Hang on to my coat when I'm running free
Cause I don't feel that cold when you're next to me
Oh when you're next to me

Your grasp is on the railing
Cold as my left hand
Your right arm reaches out to touch
I'm tryna take my stand
You pull me close and whisper
Sharply in my hair
Your words are warm but your breath is cold
And there's a poison in your stare

Cause you don't wanna leave
But I guess I do
When you're in the midst of rain of waves
Crashing down upon you
A purple stain from wine is all
You leave to my possession
My obsession's born
And you are gone and
Keeping me from guessing

A boot falls right behind me
With a thud onto the wooden deck
As seven men surround me
And your knife's licking my neck
Don't be scared
You whisper
Cause fear is not my game
I want what you can't give to me
Oh but I'll take it all the same!
(Oh but you'll take it all the same!)

I'll take it all the same

I reach into the pocket
Located by my left breast
The knives get raised a foot or two
As my attackers grow restless
Careful there!
One rumbles
As I slowly turn my head
My eyes find yours
And there's no remorse
As my Colt feeds your men with lead
Until we're all that's left!

So is this what you need?
What I had to do
Covered in the blood of those that
Ate up your lies for you
And if I am to bleed
Cause you think I'm your possession
Then my obsession's gone
Cause I was wrong and you better start confessing
What it could've been like
What it could've been
You best start confessing

You keep asking what it could've been like
You keep asking what it could've been
Yet not for a second did you even try to realize
That the bullet you had fired was one that you should've seen
But I'll confess if that is what you're needing
Oh I'll confess even if that's just what you want
But know that my confession won't stop that inner bleeding
It's done and it has happened and it's something you can't stop!

Drifting on a boat headed in from sea
Coloured like the rising sun alone with you and me
You grab onto my coat
Your eyes preach what you see
And I can feel your cold
As you fall down next to me

And all you do is bleed
As I scream next to you
A bullet wound that tells no lie
But I should've taken fifty for you
I should've let you leave
Cause you were never my possession
This obsession's wrong
And now you're gone
Forever leave me guessing
What it could've been like
