lyrics

IN MY SOUL
IN MY SOUL
RUNS A DEEP
AND ENDLESS HOLE
NO CONTROL
ALL THINGS I'VE KNOWN
TAKE THEIR TOLL

I'VE HIT MY LOWS
HIT MY LOWS
BEEN TOLD
THE PAIN IT SHOWS
TO FIND A WAY
THAT'S LIFE
I SUPPOSE

COME TO ME
DON'T REFUSE
DONT GIVE ME CONSOLATION BLUES
I GOT NOTHING MORE TO GIVE
IF I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

I'M SO BLIND
I'M SO BLIND
I CAN'T SEE
AND I CAN'T FIND
WHERE'D SHE GO
NO ONE KNOWS
LOVES UNKIND

I CAN'T SEE
I CAN'T SEE
BEING BLIND
IS ALL I'LL EVER BE
GOING ON
WITHOUT HER
WONT BE EASY

COME TO ME
DON'T REFUSE
DONT GIVE ME
CONSOLATION BLUES
I GOT NOTHING MORE TO GIVE
IF I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE

PEACE OF MIND
PEACE OF MIND
WITHOUT HER
IS HARD TO FIND
I AM LOST
DOWN THIS ROAD
LEFT BEHIND

COME TO ME
DON'T REFUSE
DONT GIVE ME
CONSOLATION BLUES
I GOT NOTHING MORE I CAN GIVE
IF I GOT NOTHING LEFT TO LO
