Confessional Tale From the Mouth of Redemption

My heart is beating from me My brain's betraying me tonight Images constantly flowing I'll be hating you til the morning light I'll waste tonight thinking of you And him committing your sins Tomorrow will be a brand new day Two years ago, we met Together under a selfish bet "He doesn't love you, so come on with me" I knew back then this would come to be If someone cheats To be with you You can bet your ass They'll cheat on you too Something died today I see its corpse lingering in the waves It's the shell of us Wrapped in a rotten casket of wasted trust I fell asleep while Waiting for you to come Back from your journey And you're still not here You said he was just a friend Someone to keep you company And from getting torn down From the rest of the crew Tell me what you mean By he's only just a friend When you've swallowed something That's sacred No way to trust you Nothing to say To me, you're still in Europe And I'm still here No way to trust you Nothing left to say Because I'm pretty sure you're lying When you say sorry I guess an excuse is that you're still young When we were your age, we were all pretty dumb But even if I had a thought quite like that You know I'd never act You made me swear I'd stay loyal And off you went, flying like you were royal You swore to me you'd do the same Well, now I'm feeling pretty lame You stabbed me with the same knife You were so afraid was going to kill you And now I'm floating... Home I'm floating home again Home I'm floating home again If you're really looking to atone Well, it's time to swim I'm back in this boring town again Alone, and you're still swimming Home I'm floating home again Home I'm floating home again
