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'll 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 your forgiveness

You did what you ahd to I did

What I could now we've gone

Our separate ways

I never found comfort in your

Acceptance if times a healer

Then I'll sit and wait for

Your poison words to scar.

A 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, but

Everyday I'm reminded of the way

You put me down, the way you

Put me out, the way you torched

My fucking world

[Chorus]

I don't need your lies don't

Need your promises

Don't want your open arms don't

Need your sacred ways and all

I need is all I am today.

What was once belief has now

Turned to grief

And there ain't nothin' more that

You could say

Look to myself for everything I need

Ain't lookin' back on anything.

So you think you got me all figured

Out and you think you know what this

Hate is all about

Don't try to understand, don't try to

Comprehend the answer is my words.

When the world comes crashin' down

All around

And I need a quiet place to hide.

You'll find me deep inside my head

Under a tree of thought in a world of pain.

I never wanted you here

I never needed you here

So when you think of me try

To understand

I never wanted your help I

Never needed your hand to

Guided me there your maze

Of lies

To guide me through your

Narrow world

I forgot a long time ago, now

Every day I'm reminded of the

Way you put me down the way

You put me out the way you

Torched my whole world.
