Lyrics
Written by Mark Croft
I took one last breath and closed my eyes
And left the last few tears to vaporize
Eye lids as heavy as a ten-ton bridge
I couldn’t keep ’em open even if I tried
I spent the whole damn evening sitting here
Waiting for the words to disappear
I broke down crying ‘bout half past ten
And I carried on straight through to daylight
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But I’ve got guilty as hell still written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it’s in permanent ink and I think that it’s here to stay
Left with nothing but a desperate stare
As I turned and left you standing there
And all the voices buried in my head
Are screaming all the words I’ve tried to hide
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But I’ve got guilty as hell still written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it’s in permanent ink and I think that it’s here to stay
And every night that I awoke
Dreaming of you standing alone,
Was a nightmare like a hurricane
As twisting fury screams my name
So baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But I’ve got guilty as hell still written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it’s in permanent ink and I think that it’s here to stay
Baby I tried again last night on my way
But I’ve got guilty as hell written all over my face
Baby I tried again last night to wash it away
But it’s in permanent ink and I think that it’s here to stay
