You know
I don’t know why
It was so damn hard to say
But every day went by
And every chance, it slipped away
So I wrote it down
Thought I was profound
I showed you
Every scar I had
Got a careless hug
And brushed under the rug
I’m too exhausted to be mad
You say you’re sorry for the past
You say a lot of things
Until you’ve gotten off the pot
I will not believe a single thing
Respect ain’t given
It is earned
I thought that’d be
Something you’d’ve learned
Just ‘cause you’ve been
Given the ring
That don’t mean
A goddamn thing
Don’t push me now
I won’t cow-tow
We are the same
You and me
Behind those clouded eyes
You can’t recognize
What everyone can see
You say you’re sorry for the past
You say a lot of things
Until you’ve gotten off the pot
I will not believe a single thing
I know you cannot change the past
But this future looks the same to me
If this thing breaks my back
I’m burning down this
Rotten family tree
