The Injured List - Last Night

Last night, last night I saw the golden light
And he told me that I wouldn’t be forgiven, not this time
So I tried, yeah I tried, to smile back and act polite
But he knew I understood, yeah, he could see it in my eyes
And I won’t ask him to apologize, I don’t think it’d be right
Sometimes we have to get what we deserve if we’re to learn how to survive
We can’t expect to be accepted at the expense of consequence
I won’t ask him to reconsider, I just don’t think it’d be right
Last night, last night she told me everything was fine
But in the morning she was crying said her dreams had changed her mind
So I tried, yeah I tried, to hold my tongue and be polite
But after she had packed her bags, she turned and sighed and said goodbye
And I won’t ask her to apologize, I don’t think it’d be right
It’s my fault for not seeing the signs
Well, I should’ve never made her cry
And it’s her right to know that she’s earned more than fights and lies
So I won’t ask her to reconsider, no, I just don’t think it’d be right
Last night, last night I asked you to hold on tight
It might be a bumpy ride but I’ll find a way back to the light
And I’ll try, yeah I’ll try, to make you see before I die that I’m not completely blind
Once in a while, I swear, I can do something right
I just want to get this right
