Backlash

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Hearts stay broken Wounds won't mend My neglect lost my only friend Shadows cast I thought wouldn't last But I realized at the end [PreChorus] That the time I spent without you here Was worthless Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears Maybe this would hurt less [Chorus] But now, for a thousand years I'll be dealing with results of my actions My actions If I'd just looked beyond myself I'd avoid all of this backlash This backlash If I'd just tried once in my life To help you through the nightmare The nightmare Maybe I'd still hear your laugh Maybe I'd avoid this backlash This backlash [Verse 2] Dark times here I hope you'll be back soon I can barely stand to see the moon Outward peace is what my people see But my throne Is my own tomb [PreChorus] That the time I spent without you here Was worthless Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears Maybe this would hurt less [Chorus] But now, for a thousand years I'll be dealing with results of my actions My actions If I'd just looked beyond myself I'd avoid all of this backlash This backlash If I'd just tried once in my life To help you through the nightmare The nightmare Maybe I'd still hear your laugh Maybe I'd avoid this backlash This backlash [Bridge] My only hope Rests in finding someone to pick me up where I fell down Because through the smoke She'll unite the ones we need For you to be free from nightmare's crown [Chorus] But now, for a thousand years I'll be dealing with results of my actions My actions If I'd just looked beyond myself I'd avoid all of this backlash This backlash If I'd just tried once in my life To help you through the nightmare The nightmare Maybe I'd still hear your laugh Maybe I'd avoid this backlash This backlash
