Lyrics

Forgive me for I did not know

'Cause I was just a boy

You were so much more

Than any God could ever plan

More than a woman or a man

And now I understand how much I took from you

'Cause when everything starts breaking down

You pick the pieces off the ground

And show this wicked town something

Beautiful and new

You think that luck has left you there

But maybe there's nothing

Up in the sky but air

And there's no mystical design

No cosmic lover pre-assigned

There's nothing you can find that cannot be found

And with all the changes you've been through

It seems the stranger's always you

Alone again in some new

Wicked little town

And when you've got no other choice

You know you can follow my voice

Through the dark turns and noise

Of this wicked little town

It's a wicked

Little town

Good bye wicked

Little town
