I know what I need to be your remedy

I thought I could

I know what I need to be your remedy

I would

While I stayed in to look into what you thought I should

I realized I could've done things another way

I did what I've always been taught to

I thought I could repair these broken strings

I know what I need to be your remedy

I thought I could

I know what I need to be your remedy

I would

I put my words on display so your eyes could laugh

I was hoping that I'd find something else there

I gave my hand to cure this virus of selfishness

But I found it hanging there disregarded

I never thought that I'd find myself on this avenue of disrespect

But now that I'm here

I know what I need to be your remedy

I thought I could

I know what I need to be your remedy

I would

I've always seemed comfortable

But maybe I'm too trusting

Maybe I should have seen this coming

I gave this all to you so we could rise above

If I could redirect

I'd be willing to but my words have no chance;

Your mind was set from the start

Everything that I've never said is finally here for you

Take this time to know that I tried

But remember as the credits roll

I know what I need to be your remedy

I thought I could

I know what I need to be your remedy

I would

I would
