Since you've been gone I've been away From here and now, from yesterday The lies that it took to keep you around So I held your hand we talked about our life of sin and giving in and Sometimes, even God forgets I've come to save you but I couldn't remember your face So I closed my eyes and called out your name When I found you you were slipping away So I had to do what was best for you A year spent alone but I couldn't stay Once I lost my soul, I found my way Back to the place I started with you Where we realized what we would do With a mended heart, a brand new start and The words back, we never ment to say And I've come to save you but I couldn't remember your face So I closed my eyes and called out your name When I found you you were slipping away So I had to do what was best for you Lies that they gave you were the same as the promise I made You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed When I heard they would give you away Well I had to do what's best for you Say it, say what you needed to say You know you'll feel better now And hate me, hate me for all of the ways, I let you down In search of you I've lost my self, (In search of you I've lost myself) I've lost my self So don't you feel better now Don't you feel better now And I've come to save you but I couldn't remember your face So I closed my eyes and called out your name When I found you you were slipping away So I had to do what's best for you Lies that they gave you were the same as the promise I made You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed When I heard they would give you away Well I had to do what's best for you And I've come to save you but I couldn't remember your face So I closed my eyes and called out your name (You did nothing wrong) When I found you you were slipping away Cause I had to do what's best for you Lies that they gave you were the same as the promise I made (The promise I made) You did nothing wrong but you were ashamed (You did nothing wrong) When I heard they would give you away I've come to save you but I couldn't remember your face So I closed my eyes and called out your name When I found you you were slipping away So I had to do what's best Lies that they gave you were the same as the promise I made You did nothing wrong but always took blame You know you've forgoten my name I'll still do whats best for you
