Where did I go wrong?
Why must I be stuck playing the same damn song?
All my fears and all my shame
Don’t get recognized unless I play your game
All this pain is worth nothing to you
Yet somehow that’s all you’ve mastered to do
Where did I go wrong?
I’ve become depleted, mistreated, after you were gone
A convict to love but a victim to your abuse
Standing on the edge of being left broken and bruised
you’ve got nothing to lose, things have changed, they have shifted
So tell me what’s your excuse?
We never made it to the best part, we never got that far
So tell me, why did you tear us apart?
The air inside my lungs is caving in
You choke on every word you say, must be the adrenaline sinking in
I spell it out like siren sounds
I could spin it around and cause you to self doubt
You must’ve forgotten what I’m all about
The flames meet the fire, but you were the one who never stuck it out
Making up scenarios in your head to make yourself feel better
You sound delusional when you put it all together
Your actions were tightly contained
Your lack of understanding was neatly sustained
Now look at what a mess you made
A convict to love but a victim to your abuse
Standing on the edge of being left broken and bruised
you’ve got nothing to lose, things have changed, they have shifted
But tell me what’s your excuse?
We never made it to the best part, we never got that far
So tell me, why did you tear us apart?
It’s getting hotter,
should’ve thought twice before you stepped into my crossfires
Heaven isn’t real unless you’ve been through hell
Your dirty little secrets won’t keep you well
The pain you inflicted is what you’ve inspired
Call me a fool, but the dark side of me will always do what it’s required
Standing on the edge of being left broken and bruised
things have changed, they have shifted
So tell me what’s the use?
A convict to love but a victim to your abuse
we never got that far
tell me, why did you tear us apart?
