about

For some reason I just hated making this track. I hope you like it though. It's about friendships that you donk up, being human, forgiveness, and moving on.

lyrics

The tip of your tongue
is as sharp as knife
You’ve stabbed me in the back
multiple times
My self centered ways
have cause terrible pain
But you blamed it on yourself
and forgave me

Now that I’ve hurt you this most recent time
I’ve broken you and your troubled mind
When all I did was try to guess what was wrong
The things that you were hiding from me came along

You told me in the past what cast a shadow on your heart
But I was too busy keeping mine from breaking to notice the part

You opened Pandora’s box to find that I couldn’t see
through the cover of love and depression taking me to my knees

Humanity fogs up our minds
Our problems are our blinds
I can’t see that your dying
And you can’t see that I’m trying

I was blind, but so were you
We’re both too busy to care
I was blind, but so were you
Was there anything there

Right now at this moment I can plainly see
The things that I did to make you hate me

But look who decided
to show up to the ball
In your flaming red dress
You take cheap shots at best
And when I’m sprawled on the floor
You come at me with more
I’ve given you my sorry
but you scrapped it and charred me

Each time I dare speak you perceive it as lies
Each time I miss your problems you think of goodbyes

Humanity fogs up our minds
Our problems are our blinds
I can’t see that your dying
And you can’t see that I’m trying

I was blind, but so were you
We’re both too busy to care
I was blind, but so were you
there had to be something there

Right now at this moment I can plainly see
The times when you cared about me

The people we think we are are never what others see
Of course we want to be nice, but do we ever really change
Success, money, or a good job
We want to rule the world, but end up like snobs

The manic, the genius, and the different rule us
In an individualistic society we all end up like runts
Runts with guns who never stop
We’re blind and naive even with the cops
Runts who are told to punch the clock
For the promotions and rewards that we never got

But it’s you who I worry
And the other way around
Who’s too stubborn to not take off their crown

We only love the one’s who give something back
It depends if it’s love or just some cut slack
But in times of screaming and shouting about
Can’t we just be even and work this all out

I care about you
And you cared about me
We’ve both done bad things and have said sorry
Is there anything left to do
Except say that I never meant to hurt you

I have come on a path of introspection
I have come to neglect my friend’s affection
I was there in the moments when we talked
I was there only as an empty box

I was blind, but so were you
We’re both too busy to care
I was blind, but so were you
Was there anything there

Right now at this moment I can plainly see
The times when you cared about me

I don’t know how the story ends
Do we keep on being friends
I don’t know when the pain will stop
But right now we have blood to clot

We’re jut human, you and me
We can’t help but stab our family
Is there anything left for me to do
Except say that I never meant to hurt you

Is there anything left for me to do
Except say that I always wanted to love you
