I'm in the boot of a car, breathin' air through a hole She's drivin' me down to the river She'll watch over me and the tears in her eyes Couldn't dig my own grave any deeper She's pushin' me blindfolded down to my knees Her finger still shakes on the trigger She's untyin' my hands though I gave her the rope This is so much harder and deeper to leave her, I need her When you've forgiven but you can't forget It feels like you're drownin' but you still got breath And we've been tryin' to lay this ghost to rest But there ain't no gettin' out of this mess No there ain't no getting' out, there ain't no getting' out There ain't no getting' out of this mess Now she's showin' me mercy as much as she can She's lettin' me live with my demons See her washin' her hands and she's walkin' away Oh but still she looks back, she looks back While she's leavin', she's leavin' When you've forgiven but you can't forget It feels like you're drownin' but you still got breath And we've been tryin' to lay this ghost to rest But there ain't no gettin' out of this mess No there ain't no gettin' out, there ain't no gettin' out There ain't no gettin' out of this mess No there ain't no gettin' out No there ain't no gettin' out of this mess What's done is done, can't resurrect the setting sun What's done is done, oh you can't reverse the bullet from the gun What's done is done, can't resurrect the setting sun What's done is done, oh you can't reverse the bullet from the gun When you've forgiven but you can't forget It feels like you're drownin' but you still got breath And we've been tryin' to lay this ghost to rest Oh, but there ain't no gettin' out of this mess When you've forgiven but you can't forget It feels like you're drownin' but you still got breath And we've been tryin' to lay this ghost to rest Oh, but there ain't no gettin' out, there ain't no gettin' out of this mess Out of this mess, out of this mess Out of this mess, out of this mess Out of this mess, out of this mess
