For Good

Well I tried to write with rage

But the words just wouldn't come

So I wrote you a message in a bottle and I tossed it off

Into the great beyond

And I wish I could hate you

And I wish I could scream

But all I do is lie awake and spend my nights imagining

All the things that coulda been

And I know it's not me for you

But I wish it was

And I know it's not you for me

But I can't let go cos

Every time I try to walk away

You pull me back into your arms

Cos like a moth to flame

I can't restrain myself

From wandering back towards the harm

Seems like I forgot

You call the shots

You think by now that I'd have understood

That somehow you've become the only one

Who gets to call it quits for good

Well I tried to see the light

But you found me in the dark

And led me back towards the old familiar feeling

That old familiar spark

Then you tell me that it's over

Yeah you tell me that we're through

And you put the blame entirely on me

But baby it takes two

And I know it's not me for you

But I wish it was

And I know it's not you for me

But I can't let go cos

Every time I try to walk away

You pull me back into your arms

Cos like a moth to flame

I can't restrain myself

From wandering back towards the harm

Seems like I forgot

You call the shots

You think by now that I'd have understood

That somehow you've become the only one

Who gets to call it quits for good

And I wish that I could move on

But I don't really have a choice

Cos when you switched the narrative and flipped all of the facts

You took away my voice
