Pardon Me - Noah Guthrie

I was raised to follow my heart

Keep the faith when the lights go dark

Now it seems that I’ve wandered too far

So pardon me if I just fall apart

You moulded me like clay in your hands

Tied my feet and you forced me to stand

Dirty wounds, there’s blood in the sand

So pardon me if I don’t join in your dance

Say that you wanted me

Even after the fall

Say that you needed me

After all, after all

Lie to me and I’ll play my part

The pain is sweet when it’s disguised as art

Finally I’m breaking it down

I am just another jewel in your crown

Say that you wanted me

Even after the fall

Say that you needed me

After all, after all

Love you’ve built the fire

And now you watch it burn

All of my desires

And the love you never earned

Oh you’ve built the fire

And now you watch it burn

All of my desire

And the love you never earned

Oh you’ve built the fire

And now you watch it burn

All of my desire

And the love you never earned

Oh you’ve built the fire

And now you watch it burn

All of my desire

Until you finally learned

To say that you wanted me

Even after the fall

Say that you needed me

After all

Say that you wanted me

Even after the fall

Say that you needed me

After all, after all

After all, after all
