Or So I Thought

i hate to admit this,
but i was right about you.
dont charm me with your blind apologies.
they only leave me with brief relief.
i watched you stand on the steps of the Promise Land.
all the while, in the background,
you were holding the devil's hand.

if its too much to ask, its best you leave now.

you failed me once,
you failed me twice,
shame on me.
(?)
excuses, excuses.
its sad how you use your words.
you stole my heart just to throw it all away.

and i should be sleeping,
but its early morning.
youre breathing death into new life
in the wake up warning.
its sick how we all want the same thing
and you were willing to take every life
to be the last one standing.

if its too much to ask, its best you leave now.

you failed me once,
you failed me twice,
shame on me.
(?)
excuses, excuses.
its sad how you use your words.
you stole my heart just to throw it all away.

my soul sings,
beautifully broken.
my soul sings,
beautifully broken.
my heart cries out.
show me mercy, (mercy)
show me mercy.
show me mercy, (mercy)
show me mercy.

my soul sings because im happy.
my soul sings because im free.
(because im free)
i am free.
