lyrics

after so long i can't believe you don't believe me.
i can tell, you're long gone, you don't want to see me,
don't have a reason to go on
so now we're done

if you're going, i'll move on but i don't think you're really
gonna stay gone. you promised to leave me,
don't have a reason to hang on
you swore me off

but we both know that you don't keep
your promises
and don't pretend you know why you break them
you don't know
it makes me so

our days of infancy are wearing thin
we linger on until we break the skin
fortunes pass us by as we build walls
for mansions standing tall built for
separating lives
and taking sides

if you don't mind, i'll come with you, at least until you feel you're
satisfied. but i can't help the voices inside me
that say you're wrong

i don't know what i feel anymore,
i don't know why
you won't abide the stumbles and falls of everyone
who sees you choke
it makes me so
i don't know what to think anymore
it makes me so
i can't forgive the things i'll never even know
it makes me so
