Confessional At 6 P.m. Lyrics - Kevin Devine

Id give myself a hand if I were you 

The right words are never ones I say 

Songs like these 

They carry a little weight now 

'Cause theyre about honesty 

Theyre 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 Ill feel this way too 

On the receiving end of heavy handed logic 

And Im not real anymore 

Im like a story passed down by kids 

Who cant fight parties 

Not getting out of bed today 

But just lay here uninspired 

Feeling bad that I threw you away 

Im a shadow that whispers 

Stupid songs about this heart 

Im sorry for letting you down 

Im sorry for everything about me that hurts you 

Think about what you said on the phone 

If I die alone, its my own fault 

And Im a shadow that whispers 

Stupid songs about this heart 

Im sorry 

Id give myself a hand
