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 that 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 then I did what I could
And now we've gone our separate ways.
I never [bad word] in your acceptance,
If time is a healer then I'll sit and wait
For your poison words to scar.

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 [bad word] world.

I never wanted your forgiveness,
You did what you had to then I did what I could
And now we've gone our separate ways.
I never [bad word] in your acceptance,
If time is a healer then I'll sit and wait
For your poison words to scar.

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 nothing more that you could say,
Look to myself for everything I need
Ain't looking 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 [bad word] 
The answers in my words.

When the [bad word] crashing 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 your help, I never needed your help
So when you think of me don't try to understand,
Guide me through your maze of lies,
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,
The way you torched my whole world.
