I never meant to hurt you, I never thought my words
Could cut right through, leaving open wounds
In all this open space, I took myself into a place
I never should've gone, I never should've gone

Oh, the damage is done, lay me down in fields of green
This heart has seen things I never should have seen
You're breaking my legs and teaching me

I never saw my own pride, I never thought my lips
Could taste of lies and kiss your crying eyes
And all the scars you've gained from crimson covered hands
That held your face when they were strong
My hands used to be so strong

And oh, the damage they've done, lay me down in fields of green
This heart has seen things I never should have seen
You're breaking my legs and teaching me

I found my place among the seas
I found this grace upon my knees
I found my place among the seas
This grace upon my knees

Lay me down in fields of green
This heart has seen things I never should have seen
You're breaking my legs and teaching me

Lay me down in fields of green
This heart has seen things I never should have seen
You're breaking my legs and teaching me
