William - By Amy Court and Joey Daigneault

It must have been that love was just a pebble in your shoe
Scratching away at your point of view
And callusing what used to be a very tender soul

What masqueraded as your common sense
Put a barrel to your head and prayed for exodus
Leaving what remained of you so breathless and cold

Still I say your name out loud
Like somehow that could keep you here with me
I could really use you now
William, are you sorry?

William, the insanity that claimed your mind
Can’t compare to the profanity you leave behind
Really I did not expect such cruelty from you

Still I say your name out loud
Like somehow that could keep you here with me
I could really use you now
William, are you sorry?

So it goes on, William, without you
And the cruelest part of all
William, it’s so beautiful

William, I remember how your hands could be so sweet
I didn’t know the damage that they’d do to me
Callusing what used to be a very tender soul

William, William, I remember
William, William, I remember
William, William, I remember
I remember, I remember you
Still I say your name out loud

Like somehow that could keep you here with me
I could really use you now
William, are you sorry?
