Operative Word

The blood's left on my hands
And it's up to me to wash away
It's up to me to make it right
Forget the past
What's done is done
I always said so easily
Now it's time that I live my words

Living in those days that hold me back
They hold me back
They hold me down
I knew this wouldn't get me far
Just away from you full of myself
And I know
That there's something inside of me
That I can give
That I can give to you
That I can give to you

So many times I looked away
Passing someone off but I'm just the same (Never gave you a chance)
Now that's a chance that I'll never take

Living in those days that hold me back
They hold me back
They hold me down
I knew this wouldn't get me far
Just away from you full of myself
And I know
That there's something inside of me
That I can give
That I can give to you
That I can give to you

It won't hold me down
Again
It won't take me down
Again

The blood's left on my hands
And it's up to me to wash away
I'll live my words
