Lightning In A Bottle Lyrics - Singles - The Upset Victory

Save the formalities for someone else 

Youre basically telling lies to yourself 

Isnt it exhausting battling constantly? 

Arent you tired of playing the enemy? 

Youre no angel 

Your sins will never be forgiven 

Ive made my changes 

Youre the only one thats still the same 

The past youre clinging to 

Will be the same one you regret 

The only one that suffers 

Is the one Im trying to protect 

Every instance is something new with you 

And I know that this will pass in time 

But Im waiting 

Gaining a step with you 

Seems impossible 

Its lusters fading, its getting old 

And I dont think I can keep this up for long 

Identity is what you stole from me 

You tried to waste it 

The one thing I tried hard to keep 

And Im not buying in 

Im a sinner 

But my mistakes will be forgiven 

Ive made my changes 

Youre the only one that stays the same 

The past youre clinging to 

Will be the same one you regret 

The only one that suffers 

Is the one Im trying to protect 

Every instance is something new with you 

And I know that this will pass in time 

Im waiting 

Youve kept half of my life away 

Secured and locked up tight 

The time has finally come 

To set the record straight tonight 

The past youre clinging to 

Will be the same one you regret 

The only one that suffers 

Is the one Im trying to protect 

Every instance is something new with you 

And I know that this will pass in time 

Im waiting
