Gear Box lyrics

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 had to
I did what I could
now we`ve gone
Our separate ways.
I never found comfort in your acceptance,
If time`s 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

I never wanted your forgiveness
you did what you had to
I did what I could
now we`ve gone
Our separate ways.
I never found comfort in your acceptance,
if time`s a healer then I`ll sit and
wait for your poison words to scar.

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 guide me through your maze of lies
to guide me through your narrow world.
I forgot a long time ago,
now every day I`m reminded
the way you put me down
the way you put me out
the way you torched my whole world.
