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 that 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 then I did what I could And now we've gone our separate ways. I never found comfort in your acceptance, If time is 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 never wanted your forgiveness, You did what you had to then I did what I could And now we've gone our separate ways. I never found comfort in your acceptance, If time is a healer then I'll sit and wait For your poison words to scar.
Don't need your lies, don't need your promises, Don't want your open arms, don't need your sacred ways And all I need is all I am today.
What was once belief has now turned to grief And there ain't nothing more that you could say, Look to myself for everything I need Ain't looking 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 answers in my words.
When the world comes crashing 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 your help, I never needed your help So when you think of me don't try to understand, Guide me through your maze of lies, 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.
