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. I 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 your ass gets off the pot
I will not believe a single thing
Respect ain’t given, it is earned
I thought that’d be something you 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 your ass gets off the pot
I will not believe a single thing
I know you’re sorry for the past
But the future looks the same to me
If this thing breaks my back
I’m burning down this rotten family tree
Burn it down
You say you’re sorry for the past
You say a lot of things
Until your ass gets off the pot
I will not believe a single thing
I know you’re sorry for the past
But the future looks the same to me
If this thing breaks my back
I’m burning down this rotten family tree
