I Don'T Owe You Anything
So many days
All passed in a blur
With all my thoughts
Focused all on her
It was no way to live
Trapped within the past
But now today
I can say at last
I'm sorry for
Everything I put you through
But you put me through things too
And I don't owe you anything
What's done is truly done
We hurt each other so many times
But it's time to run
Those days were nice
Back when you still cared
I really did
But I was really scared
It's been a year
Since you killed our hope
I suffered all these days
Tangled in your rope
I'm sorry for
Everything I put you through
But you were just as bad
And I don't owe you anything
What's done is truly done
We hurt each other so many times
But now it's time to run and
I spent a whole year trying
To sort out what you left
And now I've finally got it
You didn't leave me so bereft
You helped me find
The man beneath the boy
You helped me grow
And learn how to destroy
Apologies
Don't mean a thing anymore
You've already made your choice
So I don't owe you anything
I'm glad it's finally done
A year of atonement ends today
The time has finally run
Out, the sands of time caress
My face as clouds give way to rain
We're even now and now I can walk
Without my heart in pain
