Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only [bad word] back to you

They're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Though the rain and the [bad word] through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against
 [bad word] back to you

And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence
While [bad word] back to you

There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side
 [bad word] back to you

Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me [bad word] in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is [bad word] 
And all I've said was just instead
 [bad word] back to you
