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 thereand'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 wonand't
ever hear
i never wanted your forgiveness
you did what you ahd to i did
what i could now weand've gone
our separate ways
i never found comfort in your
acceptance if times a healer
then iand'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 iand'm reminded of the way
you put me down, the way you
put me out, the way you torched
my fucking world
[chorus]
i donand't need your lies donand't
need your promises
donand't want your open arms donand'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 ainand't nothinand' more that
you could say
look to myself for everything i need
ainand't lookinand' back on anything.
so you think you got me all figured
out and you think you know what this
hate is all about
donand't try to understand, donand't try to
comprehend the answer is my words.
when the world comes crashinand' down
all around
and i need a quiet place to hide.
youand'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
i never wanted your help i
never needed your hand to
guided me there your maze
of lies
to guide me through your
narrow world
i forgot a long time ago, now
every day iand'm reminded of the
way you put me down the way
you put me out the way you
torched my whole world.
