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'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

I did what I could

now we've gone

Our separate ways.

I never found comfort in your acceptance,

If time's 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

I did what I could

now we've gone

Our separate ways.

I never found comfort in your acceptance,

if time's a healer then I'll sit and

wait for your poison words to scar.



I 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 nothin' more that you could say

Look to myself for everything I need,

ain't lookin' 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 answer is my words.

When the world comes crashin' 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 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 guide me through your maze of lies

to guide me through your narrow world.

I forgot a long time ago,

now every day I'm reminded

the way you put me down

the way you put me out

the way you torched my whole world.
