anthem

Far in the distance this is the view from the other side.
How did I let this pass me by?
Took me for granted, planted thorns in this garden of mine
What are the chances? My hope has died.
Please have mercy, you've unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain.
So don't break my heart, I ain't never done nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart. You've had your fun,
do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
you bring out the devil in me.
Thinking it over, those were days dark as ebony nights.
The end of October felt like a lifetime
I had a suspicion, but didn't want to believe you a liar
You had a mission to prove me right.
You took my trust- Ground it to dust.
Found out I knew better.
So don't break my heart, I ain't never done nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart. You've had your fun,
do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
you bring out the devil in me.
And I don't wanna feel the pain
And I don't want another day shackled to your ball and chain
You're entirely to blame
And I'm so tired of explaining the sensation of no Novocain
So don't break my heart, I ain't never done nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart. You've had your fun,
do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
you bring out the devil in me.
I don't have a prayer if there is no charity in your heart
Couldn't you spare me?
I've done my part.
So don't break my heart, I ain't never done nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart. You've had your fun,
do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?
Don't speak, don't breathe,
you bring out the devil in me.
