Your half-truths and tales as tall as the trees
Had us all feeling sorry and down on our knees
And it took sometime, but I opened my eyes
Now I don’t know who to believe
I jumped however high to keep you from crying
But I grew so tired and eventually stopped trying
Was lost in the night, but I found a light
And I’ve never been more happy
You always needed to attention
Well here you go, now
Does it satisfy your thirst?
Satisfy your thirst
And if I’ve pained you, then I’m sorry
But I have no regrets and I’d do it again in a heartbeat
Oh, I’d do it again
Some say I waited until you turned your back
You could say that I’m jaded, but how fair is that?
If you’d open your eyes, maybe you’d realize
I’m not the one you’re angry at
I thought you were gone, but sometimes you linger
I guess I was wrong or my mind was eager
To really believe, you wouldn’t deceive
And I could move along
Incessant self-pity has gotten you nowhere
Yet you still insist you are never to blame
Tell me why you’re alone in the rain
Your whimsy persona is surely sought after
Yet you’re always caught washing away the shame
Perhaps that’s why you’re alone in the rain
Who can help if you can’t help yourself?
