Confessional at 6 P.M. - Kevin Devine

I’d give myself a hand if I were you

The right words are never ones I say

Songs like these

They carry little weight now

Cause they’re about honesty

They’re about sincerity

And I gave you neither

And I took everything

For me

And I have broken your heart

For the first and only time

One day I’ll feel this way too

On the receiving end

Of heavy handed logic

And I’m not real anymore

I’m like a story

Passed down by kids who can’t find a party

Not getting out of bed today

I’ll just lay here uninspired

Feeling bad that I threw you away

I’m a shadow that whispers

Stupid songs about his heart

I’m sorry for letting you down

I’m sorry for everything about me that hurts you

Think about what you said on the phone

If I die alone it’s my own fault

I’m a shadow that whispers

Stupid songs about his heart

I’m sorry

I’d give myself a hand
