And since you've been gone
I've been away
From here and now, from yesterday
The lies that it took to keep you around
So I held you here, we talked about
A life of sin, giving in and -
- how sometimes
Even God forgets

And I'd come to save you,
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
And when I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you.

Years spent alone
But I couldn't stay
Once I lost my soul, I found my way
Back to the places I started with you
Where we realized what we would do
With a mended heart, a brand new start and
The words we never meant to say

And I'd come to save you,
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
And when I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you.
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
And when I heard they'd give you away,
Well I had to do what's best for you
Say, say what you needed to say
You know you'll feel better now,
And hate me, hate me for all the ways
I let you down in search of you, I lost myself
（In search of you I lost myself） I lost myself
But don't you feel better now?


And I'd come to save you,
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
And when I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you.
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
And when I heard they'd give you away,
Well I had to do what's best for you
And I'd come to save you,
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
When I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you.
The lies that they gave you
Were the same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed
And when I heard they'd give you away,
Well I had to do what's best for you
I'd come to save you,
But I couldn't remember your face
So I closed my eyes and called out your name
When I found you, you were slipping away
So I had to do what's best for you.
The lies that they gave you
The same as the promise I made
You did nothing wrong, but always to blame,
Even though you've forgotten my name,
I would still do what's best for you.
