Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 can 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 [Chorus] (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 is a healer Then I'll sit here and wait for Your poison words to scar [Verse 2] One 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 every day I'm reminded of the way You put me down The way you put me out The way you torched my fucking world [Chorus] (I never) Wanted your forgiveness You did what you had to And I did what I could Now we've gone our separate ways (I never) Found comfort in your acceptance If time is a healer Then I'll sit here and wait for Your poison words to scar [Bridge] Don't need your lies, don't need your promises Don't want your open arms Don't need your sacred ways And it's all I need today, yeah 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 any time [Verse 3] So you think you got me all figured out? You think you know what this hate is all about? Don't try to understand Don't try to comprehend The answer is in my words When the world comes crashing down all around And you need a quiet place to hide You'll find me deep inside my head Under a tree of thought In a world of pain [Outro] I never wanted your help I never needed you here So when you think of me Try to understand Guide me through your maze of life 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 You torched my whole world [Instrumental Outro]
