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
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

Don't you feel better now? 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'

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
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.
