I'll fawn over photographs

That you never would get to see

Swallow your own neglect

With your miserable company



Your daughter forgot her memories

Your daughter forgot her

Remember these



I'm over the precedent

Of a false security

No matter how I come back

You can never be proud of me



It's too long to stay gone

It's too long to stay gone



[Chorus]

I don't regret what words were said-

Deserved respect you never had

Watching the world keep falling around you

I don't expect your hand in this

Under duress and influence

Watching the world keep falling around you



I'll fawn over photographs

That you never would get to see

No matter how I come back

You can never be proud of me



It's too long to stay gone

It's too long to stay gone



[Chorus]

I don't regret what words were said-

Deserved respect you never had

Watching the world keep falling around you

I don't expect your hand in this

Under duress and influence

Watching the world keep falling around you



(around you, around you)

I don't regret what words were said

Deserved respect you never had

Watching the world keep falling around you
