I've made every mistake that a man can make
I know these walls are ugly, but I built them for your sake
And I've tried, Lord, I've tried
But it never comes out right
And I'm afraid of what you might decide

If you move on
To try with someone new
If you move on
You're gonna realize
I'm the only one for you

If you want me to go
Baby no can do
'Cause I'd rather be on fire standing next to you
If you want me to leave
Girl you're coming too
'Cause I'd rather be on fire standing next to you

I've tried all that I knew
But your bags are packed
I know your load is heavy
But I'd gladly break my back
'Cause I've lied, Lord, I've lied
But you never say goodnight
Not until the conversation dies

If you move on
To try with someone else
If you move on
You're gonna leave the man who swore
He'd gladly bleed himself
For you

I've made every mistake that a man can make
I know these walls are ugly, but I built them for your sake

Great sound, once again...proof that you are a true talent. Creative and meaningful lyrics not something redundant and said just to make the song. More like the melody was worked in to acompany the lyrics. Are you a poet or are you a songwriter? Total different flavor from your blues work. Do you have any blues original? would love to hear it. Hope the right set of ears listen to your work....worth recording on the right label. Don't sell out! Stay true to the sound you want to be known for.
