Silver Circle

The silver circle lays beside the home we used to own The warmth that it had gathered up is scattered from the cold I could hold your hand eternally and never see the blue return to red The silver circle's emptiness is swallowin' me whole No part of me will ever see this ring regain its soul What I would give to be the one to dry your tears and bring the smile back to your face It's not my place [Chorus] And I know things ain't how you planned But I am just a man Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs And I know there is no excuse But what am I to do You're all I know and I can't let you go [Verse 2] The silver circle lays beside the home we used to own The naked fingers hide inside the fist that's getting old My muscles ache to open up, but shame is like a prison to the mind The silver circle and its girl have never left my sight Though they keep me on the fringe I won't go down without a fight My heart is set, my mind is made, redemption is a shadow I will chase I will chase [Chorus] And I know things ain't how you planned But I am just a man Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs And I know there is no excuse But what am I to do You're all I know and I can't let you go, no [Verse 3] The silver circle seems to laugh and sing of lessons learned But from dust the silver rose, and back to dust it will return Time seems like the enemy, but peace is always born to break your name Just you wait [Chorus] And I know things ain't how you planned But I am just a man Blood in my veins and breath inside my lungs And I know there is no excuse But what am I to do You're all I know and I can't let you go-o, yeah No, I can't let you go-o No, I can't let you go
