Millstone

Better to regret the things you did
And not the things you didn't do
But I call exception to this rule
And boy that exception is you

I wish I'd never ventured out that night
I wish I'd never gone into that bar
If only I had never caught your eye
But three years later this is where we are

Then I saw the light
Made it oh so clear
Not just a millstone, you're the whole damn mill
And I'm thinking
Why are you still here?

I cut the ties and walked away
But turn around and there you are
Weaving them back, building the bridge
Trying to bandage up the scar

Three years to life it seems my fate is set
This sentence surely doesn't fit the crime
It's bad enough I've known you half this long
Please set me free I know I've done my time

Then I saw the light
Made it oh so clear
Not just a millstone, you're the whole damn mill
And I'm thinking
Why are you still here?

If I had a time machine I'd go back there and slap my stupid head
Show myself the party's not so groovy now when all the flags are red
How did I not notice what was hidden deep behind that mask you wear?
Didn't feel the scratch of devil horns as I ran my fingers in your hair
But that was then and this is now, and now I want to tie this to the past
Can you just disappear so I can find myself some peace at last?

Then I saw the light
Made it oh so clear
Not just a millstone, you're the whole damn mill
And I'm thinking
Why are you still here?

Then I saw the light
Made it oh so clear
Not just a millstone, you're the whole damn mill
And I'm thinking
Why are you still?
