Blue Rodeo - It Makes Me Wonder lyrics

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
Oh oh oh

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
Sacrifice, sacrifice sacrifice
