Gear Box Lyrics - Suburban Teenage Wasteland Blues - Strung Out

i remember you used to pray for me 

now you turn your head away 

expectations that i never met 

forgotten promises you never kept 

i know someday 

there can be a time when you can look me in the eye 

now i write these words 

just to keep it clear 

in a jaded song you wont ever hear 

i never 

wanted you forgiveness 

you did what you had to 

i did what i could 

now weve gone our separate ways 

i never 

found comfort in your acceptance 

if time is a healer 

then ill sit here and wait for 

your poison words to scar 

one notebook filled with a million words 

sits quietly by my side 

like a loaded gun 

with the wrong intentions 

they tell me life is pain 

i forgot a long time ago 

how every day im reminded of the way 

put me down 

the way you put me out 

the way you torched my fucking world 

i never 

wanted your forgiveness 

you did what you had to 

and i did what i could 

now weve gone our separate ways 

i never 

found comfort in your acceptance 

if time is a healer 

then ill sit here and wait for your poison words to scar 

so you think you got me all figured out 

you think you know what this hate is all about 

dont try to understand 

dont try to comprehend 

the answer is in my words 

when the world comes crashing down all around 

and you need a quiet place to hide 

youll find me deep inside my head under a tree of thought 

in a world of pain 

i never wanted your help 

i never needed you here 

so when you think of me 

try to understand 

guide me through your maze of life 

guide me through your narrow world 

i forgot a long time ago 

how every day im reminded of the way 

put me down 

the way you put me out 

the way you torched my whole world
