Lament

Well, I understood you once I understood you then We all make some mistakes We're only human I thought I would have seen this coming in the end But I still trusted you, treated you like a friend Look where that's gotten me Restless in my own head, I only think of you And those times that we shared, I regret that I cared And there's no words you can say To change all the ways I've been hurt in your name I disassociate, and then I escalate These problems that didn't exist in the first place I told you that I'll wait, won't let you get away But all of this silence is deafening And I can't take another day of heartbreak Of heartbreak, of heartbreak And under all the weight I start to suffocate I can't take another day of heartbreak Please, won't you talk to me, I'll listen carefully I can't take another day of heartbreak Wish I'd never took sympathy on you Played this by the book Hoped that you had too Maybe I'll repeat it further down the line I can't believe that I was so blind I've felt so lost I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong) 'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along I've felt so lost (I feel like I can't trust myself) The same way, like I did so long I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong) 'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along I've felt so lost (you'd been stringing me along) I've never felt so wrong I never saw the light on in your eyes Only the sure and slow demise Of everything we could have had together Could have had the passion of the sun But instead, you chose to run Away from how you're feeling all together All those times that we shared, I regret that I cared And there's no words you can say To change all the ways I've been hurt in your name This bell can't be unrung once it's been rung Unless you're happy to try again I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong) 'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along I've felt so lost (I feel like I can't trust myself) The same way, like I did so long I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong) 'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along I've felt so lost (you'd been stringing me along) I've never felt so wrong Don't tell me what I deserve That's not up to you I'd never place that burden on you Don't tell me how I should feel 'Cause I'll only lose more of myself to you So if you want me, you'd better make it clear soon I can't wait around for you No matter how much I want to I've felt so lost I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong) 'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along I've felt so lost (I feel like I can't trust myself) The same way, like I did so long I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong) 'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along I've felt so lost (you'd been stringing me along) I've never felt so wrong
