You wrote the story that I tell
The road I walk was drawn by you
With false conception
You don’t believe in compromise
And all that I see in your eyes
Is my reflection
Why did you try to make me cry?
You told me long ago to be true
That’s what I tried to do
You wrote the story that I tell
The road I walk was drawn by you
With false conception
You don’t believe in compromise
The only love that’s in your eyes
Is my reflection
Why did I pray for you to stay
When I only ever wanted you to go?
Couldn’t tell you, couldn’t tell you so.
You wrote the story that I tell
The road I walk was drawn by you
With false conception
You don’t believe in compromise
You only seem to use those eyes
For warped perception
Why did you try to make me lie?
You told me long ago, “Be true.”
Be true.
Couldn’t tell you, could not tell you
Couldn’t tell you so
Should’ve told you, should’ve told you
Just go. Just go.
