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 + guitar bridge + chorus x2)
