The Consequence Lyrics by Richard Inman

Richard Inman

2016

If I could take the weight, I wouldn't leave
The life you never knew behind
Remember yesterday ain't what you need
It's only just a moment set aside
Cause I ain't meant to stay here long
You got folks and places to belong to
Just walk away with nothing but ideas
That were never worth your time

If I could take back every single second
Of the day that I met you
Leaving me with nothing but the memories
Of the sunrise and the dew
I wonder if we knew it then
The consequence of me darkening your door
Let me walk away with nothing but the trouble
That you put your body through

If only on some other plane, a place and time
Holds moments meant for us
Here and now is dead and gone
Tomorrow morning never seems to come
And I spent half my life in search of
Someplace I could finally stop a while
Cause I ain't worth the heartache or the longing
Cause I'm always on the run

If I could take it back, I wouldn't leave
The longing feeling in the dust
Just like I'm waiting on the snowfall
And the lonesome [?] years it finally takes to rust
Cause I ain't meant to stay here long
You got folks and places to belong to
Just walk away with nothing but ideas
That were never worth your time
