Lament

Well, I understood you once

I understood you then

We all make some mistakes

We're only human

I thought I would have seen this coming in the end

But I still trusted you, treated you like a friend

Look where that's gotten me

Restless in my own head, I only think of you

And those times that we shared, I regret that I cared

And there's no words you can say

To change all the ways I've been hurt in your name

I disassociate, and then I escalate

These problems that didn't exist in the first place

I told you that I'll wait, won't let you get away

But all of this silence is deafening

And I can't take another day of heartbreak

Of heartbreak, of heartbreak

And under all the weight I start to suffocate

I can't take another day of heartbreak

Please, won't you talk to me, I'll listen carefully

I can't take another day of heartbreak

Wish I'd never took sympathy on you

Played this by the book

Hoped that you had too

Maybe I'll repeat it further down the line

I can't believe that I was so blind

I've felt so lost

I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong)

'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along

I've felt so lost (I feel like I can't trust myself)

The same way, like I did so long

I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong)

'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along

I've felt so lost (you'd been stringing me along)

I've never felt so wrong

I never saw the light on in your eyes

Only the sure and slow demise

Of everything we could have had together

Could have had the passion of the sun

But instead, you chose to run

Away from how you're feeling all together

All those times that we shared, I regret that I cared

And there's no words you can say

To change all the ways I've been hurt in your name

This bell can't be unrung once it's been rung

Unless you're happy to try again

I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong)

'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along

I've felt so lost (I feel like I can't trust myself)

The same way, like I did so long

I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong)

'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along

I've felt so lost (you'd been stringing me along)

I've never felt so wrong

Don't tell me what I deserve

That's not up to you

I'd never place that burden on you

Don't tell me how I should feel

'Cause I'll only lose more of myself to you

So if you want me, you'd better make it clear soon

I can't wait around for you

No matter how much I want to

I've felt so lost

I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong)

'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along

I've felt so lost (I feel like I can't trust myself)

The same way, like I did so long

I've felt so lost (I've never felt so wrong)

'Til I realised you'd been stringing me along

I've felt so lost (you'd been stringing me along)

I've never felt so wrong
