Seven months ago I buried something good But I never marked the spot so now it’s lost It’s been trying to take it up with every part of me But I’m so weak that I can barely move my tongue To defend myself Against the odds that point right at me How I tried my best to keep you on your strings How disgustingly I lied And all the times I made you cry With my unappreciation for the little things you did But look at me now Through your sparkling little eyes The ones I used to fill with tears The ones that I need now more than ever But you’re happy now And I don’t blame you You deserve a lot more than I ever gave you
You had strength and I had time But that’s no excuse For me to stab you right in the back And the worst part Is all you ever did was break your back for me And still I wasn’t faithful to you
And I convinced myself that we came to a compromise I’ll take your heart and use it how the hell I please With all the chance I was given To say no to the temptation I said no to confrontation And I hid it all away In a box I keep inside my chest The key was hidden in the loneliness
As I searched around the dark and found a light You carried it away I was forced to realize You had taken all we had And was never to be seen again
You had strength and I had time But that’s no excuse For me to stab you right in the back And the worst part Is all you ever did was break your back for me And still I wasn’t faithful to you
