Lyrics

[00:14.11] And since you've been gone
[00:17.01] I've been away
[00:20.99] From here and now, from yesterday
[00:24.88] The lies that it took to keep you around
[00:31.86] So I held you here, we talked about
[00:34.96] A life of sin, giving in and -
[00:39.11] - how sometimes
[00:42.27] Even God forgets
[00:44.89]
[00:46.10] And I'd come to save you,
[00:48.43] But I couldn't remember your face
[00:53.67] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[00:58.93] And when I found you, you were slipping away
[01:04.45] So I had to do what's best for you.
[01:08.73]
[01:20.07] Years spent alone
[01:23.50] But I couldn't stay
[01:27.23] Once I lost my soul, I found my way
[01:31.93] Back to the places I started with you
[01:38.19] Where we realized what we would do
[01:41.22] With a mended heart, a brand new start and
[01:45.08] The words we never meant to say
[01:50.57]
[01:52.68] And I'd come to save you,
[01:55.03] But I couldn't remember your face
[02:00.15] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[02:06.10] And when I found you, you were slipping away
[02:11.61] So I had to do what's best for you.
[02:14.70] The lies that they gave you
[02:17.21] Were the same as the promise I made
[02:22.20] You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
[02:27.60] And when I heard they'd give you away,
[02:33.81] Well I had to do what's best for you
[02:36.90] Say, say what you needed to say
[02:45.00] You know you'll feel better now,
[02:48.00] And hate me, hate me for all the ways
[02:54.64] I let you down in search of you, I lost myself
[03:00.02] （In search of you I lost myself） I lost myself
[03:07.09] But don't you feel better now?
[03:10.57]
[03:28.40]
[03:32.28] And I'd come to save you,
[03:34.76] But I couldn't remember your face
[03:39.80] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[03:45.07] And when I found you, you were slipping away
[03:50.80] So I had to do what's best for you.
[03:54.53] The lies that they gave you
[03:56.72] Were the same as the promise I made
[04:01.78] You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
[04:07.46] And when I heard they'd give you away,
[04:12.82] Well I had to do what's best for you
[04:16.86] And I'd come to save you,
[04:19.09] But I couldn't remember your face
[04:24.28] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[04:29.95] When I found you, you were slipping away
[04:35.18] So I had to do what's best for you.
[04:38.82] The lies that they gave you
[04:41.22] Were the same as the promise I made
[04:46.12] You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
[04:51.73] And when I heard they'd give you away,
[04:56.12] Well I had to do what's best for you
[05:01.18] I'd come to save you,
[05:03.38] But I couldn't remember your face
[05:08.27] So I closed my eyes and called out your name
[05:13.90] When I found you, you were slipping away
[05:19.80] So I had to do what's best for you.
[05:23.03] The lies that they gave you
[05:25.70] The same as the promise I made
[05:30.52] You did nothing wrong, but always to blame,
[05:36.68] Even though you've forgotten my name,
[05:41.75] I would still do what's best for you.
[05:46.55]
