|
I remember you used to pray for me
|
now you turn your head away
|
Expectations that I never met,
|
forgotten promises you never kept
|
I know someday there'll be a time
|
when you can look me in the eye
|
Now I write these words just to keep it clear
|
in a jaded song you won't ever hear
|
I never wanted your forgiveness
|
you did what you had to I did what I could
|
now we've gone our separate ways.
|
I never found comfort in your acceptance,
|
if time's a healer then I'll sit and wait for your poison words to scar.
|
A notebook filled with a million words sits quietly by my side.
|
Like a loaded gun with the wrong intentions they tell me life is pain
|
I forgot a long time ago, but everyday I'm reminded of the way
|
You put me down, the way you put me out,
|
the way you torched my fucking world
|
I don't need your lies don't need your promises
|
don't want your open arms don't need your sacred ways
|
all I need is all I am today.
|
What was once belief has now turned to grief
|
and there ain't nothin' more that you could say
|
Look to myself for everything I need, ain't lookin' back on anything.
|
So you think you got me all figured out
|
and you think you know what this hate is all about
|
Don't try to understand, don't try to comprehend the answer is my words.
|
When the world comes crashin' down all around
|
and I need a quiet place to hide.
|
You'll find me deep inside my head
|
under a tree of thought in a world of pain.
|
I never wanted you here, I never needed you here
|
so when you think of me try to understand
|
guide me through your maze of lies
|
to guide me through your narrow world.
|
I forgot a long time ago, now every day
|
I'm reminded of the way
|
you put me down the way you put me out
|
the way you torched my whole world.
