Confessional at 6 P.M. Lyrics
I’d give myself a hand if I were you
The right words are never ones I say
Songs like these
They carry little weight now
Cause they’re about honesty
They’re 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 I’ll feel this way too
On the receiving end
Of heavy handed logic
And I’m not real anymore
I’m like a story
Passed down by kids who can’t find a party
Not getting out of bed today
Just lay here uninspired
Feeling bad that I threw you away
I’m a shadow that whispers
Stupid songs about his heart
I’m sorry for letting you down
I’m sorry for everything about me that hurts you
Think about what you said on the phone
If I die alone it’s my own fault
I’m a shadow that whispers
Stupid songs about his heart
I’m sorry
I’d give myself a hand
The right words are never ones I say
Songs like these
They carry little weight now
Cause they’re about honesty
They’re 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 I’ll feel this way too
On the receiving end
Of heavy handed logic
And I’m not real anymore
I’m like a story
Passed down by kids who can’t find a party
Not getting out of bed today
Just lay here uninspired
Feeling bad that I threw you away
I’m a shadow that whispers
Stupid songs about his heart
I’m sorry for letting you down
I’m sorry for everything about me that hurts you
Think about what you said on the phone
If I die alone it’s my own fault
I’m a shadow that whispers
Stupid songs about his heart
I’m sorry
I’d give myself a hand

passed down by kids who can't find a party? i thought it was kids at campfire parties but the other one makes a little more sense....im not too sure
you're right. it's "passed down by kids at campfire parties" my favorite line(s) are "i'm not getting out of bed today, i'll just lay here uninspired, feeling bad that i threw you away" . . i always feel like that! :\
I love this song. I feel sorry for the guy singing it, although when I hear some of the lyrics I think that a certain someone I know should be saying them to me. Like "the right words are never ones i say" "feeling bad that i threw you away" "i'm sorry for letting you down" and "if i die alone it's my own fault". If someone sang this to me I would have to forgive them no matter what they had done, it's just that beautiful and touching.
i love this song!
i love this song!
argh sorry about that lol it wouldn't post it
I love it. It's such a breathe of fresh air. I'm used to hearing guys sing about having their heartbroken. It's good to hear an apologetic heartbreaker
i love love love kevin & think he is a brilliant lyricist. BUT, he stole "i'm not real anymore like a story passed down" & "i'm a shadow that whispers stupid songs about his heart." from the poet, Jeffery McDaniel. still AMAZING song. as per usual.
someone i used to know definitely owes me these lyrics.
hmmm.. it does sound like it should be "kids at campfire parties"
