Because We Had To Lyrics - The 502s

Well you were wrong about the way 

You said my memory would change 

Day after day, you claimed 

I'd find it inside of me to grow 

Away from the pain 

And the shame and the guilt 

And the questions 

Wondering what did I do wrong 

To you, to decide it was time to go 

Because we had to 

Because I tried the best that I could 

To have and to hold you 

In the way I knew that I should 

And we'd still be breathing darling 

If I did the little you asked of me 

But I couldn't, so now we're nothing at all

The way that the night came down 

You were alone in your room 

With somebody else 

But you were too big, and bold in my eyes 

And I was to cowardly to call all your lies 

Well I didn't know not telling the truth 

Would cost me my soul, and most of my youth 

So with you I stayed in spite of myself 

And I don't know why 

Because we had to 

Because I tried the best that I could 

To have and to hold you 

In the way I knew that I should 

And we'd still be breathing darling 

If I did the little you asked of me 

But I couldn't, so now we're nothing at all

Why would you roam when you knew 

That I'd always be coming back home, alone, to you? 

You knew that I never, ever, ever, ever 

Would have done that to you 

Still you did 

Because you had to 

But still I tried the best that I could 

To have and to hold you 

In the way I knew that I should 

And we'd still be breathing darling 

If I did the little you asked of me 

But I couldn't, so now we're nothing at all 

And when we were younger 

And our hearts outpaced our wits 

It was better and I preferred to live in the ignorance 

In the bubble that you built with a fake facade 

In the guise of another 

Well you sold lies and I bought them all
