Lyrics

[00:15.180] And since you've been gone
[00:17.870] I've been away
[00:21.910] From here and now' from yesterday
[00:24.900]
[00:26.340] The lies that it took to keep you around
[00:32.770] So I held you here' we talked about
[00:35.710] A life of sin' giving in and -
[00:38.970] - how sometimes
[00:42.710] Even God forgets
[00:46.460] And I'd come to save you'
[00:49.530] But I couldn't remember your face
[00:54.090]
[00:54.780] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[01:00.470] And when I found you' you were slipping away
[01:04.960]
[01:05.900] So I had to do what's best for you.
[01:09.710]
[01:21.590] Years spent alone
[01:24.270] But I couldn't stay
[01:28.090] Once I lost my soul' I found my way
[01:31.780]
[01:32.710] Back to the places I started with you
[01:38.650]
[01:39.220] Where we realized what we would do
[01:42.210] With a mended heart' a brand new start and
[01:46.540] The words we never meant to say
[01:52.380]
[01:53.510] And I'd come to save you'
[01:55.820] But I couldn't remember your face
[02:00.270]
[02:01.380] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[02:05.950]
[02:06.890] And when I found you' you were slipping away
[02:11.200]
[02:12.320] So I had to do what's best for you.
[02:15.690] The lies that they gave you
[02:17.950] Were the same as the promise I made
[02:22.200]
[02:23.510] You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
[02:29.120] when I heard they'd give you away'
[02:33.370]
[02:34.680] Well I had to do what's best for you
[02:37.800] Say' say what you needed to say
[02:44.550]
[02:45.740] You know you'll feel better now'
[02:48.860] And hate me' hate me for all the ways
[02:55.570] I let you down in search of you' I lost myself
[03:00.460] (In search of you I lost myself) I lost myself
[03:07.020]
[03:08.500] Don't you feel better now? Don't you feel better now?
[03:22.270]
[03:33.080] And I'd come to save you'
[03:35.520] But I couldn't remember your face
[03:40.020]
[03:41.020] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[03:45.520]
[03:46.270] And when I found you' you were slipping away
[03:50.770]
[03:52.020] So I had to do what's best for you.
[03:55.330] The lies that they gave you
[03:57.640] Were the same as the promise I made
[04:02.140]
[04:02.960] You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
[04:07.830]
[04:08.580] And when I heard they'd give you away'
[04:13.020]
[04:14.150] Well I had to do what's best for you
[04:17.790] And I'd come to save you'
[04:19.850] But I couldn't remember your face
[04:24.410]
[04:25.160] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[04:30.100]
[04:31.230] When I found you' you were slipping away
[04:34.970]
[04:36.350] So I had to do what's best for you.
[04:39.980] The lies that they gave you
[04:41.850] Were the same as the promise I made
[04:46.170]
[04:47.220] You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
[04:52.290]
[04:53.030] And when I heard they'd give you away'
[04:58.350]
[05:01.820] I'd come to save you'
[05:04.190] But I couldn't remember your face
[05:08.380]
[05:09.690] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[05:14.070]
[05:15.130] When I found you' you were slipping away
[05:19.630]
[05:20.770] So I had to do what's best
[05:23.840] The lies that they gave you
[05:26.330] The same as the promise I made
[05:31.020]
[05:31.900] You did nothing wrong' but always to blame'
[05:36.520]
[05:37.330] Even though you've forgotten my name'
[05:41.460]
[05:42.780] I would still do what's best for you.
