Olive-eyed Lyrics

Olive-eyed lyrics

I'm counting up the tolls

that I have paid for living my life

I'm patchin up the holes

being gouged by this mass condemnation

But I won't be responsible for the things they've said and done

and I won't be responsible for any battles lost or won

Every person in this world can drop dead except for you

Every person in this world is on their side but you

And wherever you may go

I will go

I've come in from the cold

and I'm so glad that I've found my home

I'm keepin all I hold

it's not often that you get the things you've asked for

but you can't be responsible for the things they'll take away

I won't be opposable

don't want to fight for every day

the questions you ask me have answers

plain and clear

I will go and leave forever on the day

they find the boy who loves you half as much as I do

and until that day I will remain and never go away

but I can't be responsible for all the things they've done to you

they won't be held accountable and there's nothing you can do

They depend on the truth

Every person in this world can drop dead except for you

Every person in this world is on their side but you

And wherever you may go

I will go
