Lyrics
We’re just five past hello then you blow it there goes… one more lie And I fall right in take a swim, pretend… to be blind But you’re foolin us both you know you won’t… compromise Well I’ve turned both cheeks, gotta stop repeatin’… redefine You say that you love me… but you don’t Never gave us one honest shot… and you won’t I said I’d forgive you and I’ve tried Forgetting the wreck… that you left inside… But I can’t forget… And forgiveness has yet… To come to the forefront Of my thought process cause your Broken Promises… Keep on screamin in my head Empty words said to me never meant anything They won’t go away All your broken promises… Each another toxic thread Spun in your web of lies keeping me paralyzed Played and then replayed -8 Bar Solo- I’ve got dreams… dreams to remember… But all those dreams… all those dreams… must be surrendered A tailspin of denial… A vortex of lies took me down, down, down… And I don’t know why, I couldn’t just let you drown Defied fear, showed you all of me And you exploited and tossed it away all that I let you see No more… You and Me… No more fantasies… No more sayin’ em together just to hear the sound of KKB No us no we… half way Tennessee There will never be another “maybe just maybe…” Pre Chorus (Cause I can’t forget…) Chorus – (ring like gun shots in my head…)
