it makes me wonder - blue rodeo

Call me a liar
A coward and a cheat
And in my defense
What case could I possibly make
And how could I deny
A heart so tender and sweet
How could I betray
A love so complete
Well it's hard to explain
The troubles that I've made
Lucky is the man
Who learns from his mistakes
There is little left
For the man who hesitates
And tell me what is gained
By those who always take
So here's what's left of my heart
Yeah it's all torn apart
You say your hands are tied
And it's time to say goodbye
Still it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
How the best things are won with sacrifice
I can't stand the sight of my own reflection
I just don't like what I see
All I ever hear you saying to me
Is that I'm not the man that I used to be So take the veil from your eyes
This is who I've always been
I know it's not a pretty sight
Yeah I tried but I failed
Still it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
Yes it makes me wonder
And it makes me cry
How the best things are won with sacrifice
