Paroles
[Verse 1]
Time to enjoy the life I’ve got
Quit carrying what isn’t mine
I’ve spent enough of every day
Trying to make your wrongs look right
[Chorus]
I’m not here to cover your mess
If you’ve got something, say it to my face
I won’t bend just to keep the peace
I’m not sorry for the way I stand
[Verse 2]
You can bring your words out in the open
No more talking through the crowd
I’ve learned the cost of holding back
And I won’t keep it quiet now
[Chorus]
I’m not here to cover your mess
If you’ve got something, say it to my face
I won’t bend just to keep the peace
I’m not sorry for the way I stand
[Outro]
Time to enjoy the life I’ve got
I’m done carrying what isn’t mine
Time to enjoy the life I’ve got
Quit carrying what isn’t mine
I’ve spent enough of every day
Trying to make your wrongs look right
[Chorus]
I’m not here to cover your mess
If you’ve got something, say it to my face
I won’t bend just to keep the peace
I’m not sorry for the way I stand
[Verse 2]
You can bring your words out in the open
No more talking through the crowd
I’ve learned the cost of holding back
And I won’t keep it quiet now
[Chorus]
I’m not here to cover your mess
If you’ve got something, say it to my face
I won’t bend just to keep the peace
I’m not sorry for the way I stand
[Outro]
Time to enjoy the life I’ve got
I’m done carrying what isn’t mine
Style de musique
Traditional folk, male baritone with a weathered, direct delivery, acoustic guitar and steady hand percussion, warm upright bass, plainspoken verses opening into a memorable communal chorus, organic room sound and restrained dynamics.
