I wear these marks of shame Not with pride my head's held low And I aim beyond where I stand today Far beyond fate where I am placed And if weakness is a virtue And an act of strength a pride Then I am king You You said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive Always be understanding If I was wrong you'd believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change Always be who you are my friend I dress in shame and guilt With despair as my robe Must save this abandoned ship From the mist and the raging storms If weakness is a virtue And an act of strength a pride Then I am king and misery's my empire You You said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive Always be understanding If I was wrong you'd believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change And you You said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive Always be understanding If I was wrong you'd believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change You You said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive Always be understanding If I was wrong you'd believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change You
