Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've tried to be fair and pretend like I care
But no asset is worth all the time
Spent listening and laughing to dramas that mean nothing
Can't find any depth to these minds
[Verse 2]
Purity lost in vain
And you think I should be the same
Don't assume I will follow and drop all my morals
So you can look good for the crowd
You don't care for my thoughts, just the light that I brought
I'm tired of helping you out
[Verse 3]
They chose to be blind when lonely and shy
I searched for acceptance at first
Said the traits didn't match, now you take it all back
When it adds something more to your worth
[Verse 4]
Purity lost in vain
And you think I should be the same
Don't assume I will follow and drop all my morals
So you can look good for the crowd
You don't care about my thoughts, just the light that I brought
I'm tired of helping you out
[Verse 5]
All this time you chose never to care
But now, you won't leave me alone
Like we've always been close
I'm telling you nothing has changed
[Verse 6]
Purity lost in vain
And you think I should be the same
Don't assume I will follow and drop all my morals
(Purity lost in vain)
So you can look good for the crowd
You don't care for my thoughts, just the light that I brought
(Purity lost in vain)
I'm tired of helping you out
[Verse 7]
You think I should be the same
