[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
