YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN THERE WHEN I WENT ON TRIAL
YOU COULD'VE PULLED THE SWITCH AND LEFT ME THERE TO DIE
YOU LET THE SUNSET TAKE ME, TRY TO FORGET MY NAME
TURN YOUR BACK ON THE CAROUSEL AND FLOAT ABOVE THE FLAME

SO BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I'M SORRY
OVERWORK THE MASOCHIST TO MAKE IT WORSE
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME WHEN I BLEED I'M SORRY
PROMISES LIKE BROKEN GLASS WALKING IN THE DIRT

YOU TAKE YOUR TRAUMA WITH A STRONG DISTRACTION
SO MANY NAMES FOR ALL THESE TEMPORARY CURES
WHO AM I TO JUDGE UNTIL THEY BUY YOUR FEELINGS AND
BECOME ONE MORE PROBLEM TO ERASE OR ENDURE

WOULD YOU BELIEVE ME IF I SAID I'M SORRY
OR CELEBRATE YOUR NEWFOUND ARROGANCE 'TIL I'M SORE
YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME WHEN I BLEED I'M HAPPY
PROMISES LIKE BROKEN GLASS WALKING IN THE DIRT

IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I CROSSED THAT LINE
BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN HERE ALL THE TIME
WISH I COULD SAY THAT I LIKED IT BETTER BACK THERE
BUT THAT'S A LIE

I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THE PARASITE BIBLE
AND I'D GO DEEPER IF I HAD SOMEONE BY MY SIDE
BUT I DON'T YET AND I HAVEN'T GOT THE GUTS TO GO ALONE
BUT ONE DAY I HOPE TO LIVE TO REGRET

I DON'T BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY I'M SORRY
HARD TO BELIEVE A SINGLE WORD I EVER SAID
IS IT FICTION WHEN WE PLEAD FORGIVENESS?
PROMISES LIKE BROKEN GLASS WALKING IN THE DIRT
