All I told is what you'd done, you'd like to tie back my tongue
But I'm not gonna break
You've never expressed regret, you just send me birthday checks
But I'm not gonna take 'em
Tired of trying, tired of trying, tired of trying
It always ends the same
I know that I am not wrong, I'm not sorry for these songs
I'm not gonna say it
You see it different in your mind, but you're the one who drew this line
So I'm not gonna fade it
Tired of trying, tired of trying, tired of trying
I did not earn this pain
You gave up knowing me
It made you feel too guilty
I can never understand the inner workings of a man
Who hides so much away
I wished so badly to fix it but you still make me feel like shit
So I'm not gonna stay
Tired of trying, tired of trying, tired of trying
You're never gonna change

Catherine, this is mighty outstanding. Bones is certainly the song of our times right now, putting our actions where our words are, turning love into action. Thank you. Money well spent. Chip Donahue
