Gear Box - Strung Out

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

There can 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 you forgiveness

You did what you had to

I did what i could

Now weve gone our separate ways

I never

Found comfort in your acceptance

If time is a healer

Then ill sit here and wait for

Your poison words to scar

One 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

How every day im reminded of the way

Put me down

The way you put me out

The way you torched my fucking world

I never

Wanted your forgiveness

You did what you had to

And i did what i could

Now weve gone our separate ways

I never

Found comfort in your acceptance

If time is a healer

Then ill sit here and wait for your poison words to scar

So you think you got me all figured out

You think you know what this hate is all about

Dont try to understand

Dont try to comprehend

The answer is in my words

When the world comes crashing down all around

And you need a quiet place to hide

Youll find me deep inside my head under a tree of thought

In a world of pain

I never wanted your help

I never needed you here

So when you think of me

Try to understand

Guide me through your maze of life

Guide me through your narrow world

I forgot a long time ago

How every day im reminded of the way

Put me down

The way you put me out

The way you torched my whole world
