12 Steps

12 Steps Lyrics

Said something cruel, I can't say I quite regret it
Twelve steps into the smoking bar, I found you
Clothes engulfed in a bonfire I begged you to my room
Begging still, all these years

Oh, looking back, how did I keep moving?
Didn't know that half of me was missing
It's easy to leave, easy to leave

So tell me, "I can't blame you
We let love run its course and it's a little bit lonelier
I don't blame you
It's just our love ran its course and that's a little bit hard"

Oh, looking back, wasn't a thing to keep me
From running around in the wreckage that burned all season
It was easy to leave, you'd finally seen me

Now tell me, "I can't blame you
It's just that love ran its course and it's a little bit lonelier
I don't blame you
We let love run its course and it's a little bit hard
I can't blame you
He's one that you wanted, singin' scenes from a restaurant
I can't blame you
It's just our love ran its course and it's a love that's long gone"
