Just look at what you've done
Don't try and think of takin' it away
Play it through your head
Until you think you're taught
It'll still be there
This sleepless heart [??? incorrect]
To answer to like I do
Just like I do

I won't let you escape
By takin' you out
And letting someone take your place
You'll have to face it every day
False glory won't keep it away
Now you know what it takes
To be fueled by hate

And I was told a rule of gold
But it was undone by you
But I know better now
The rule that is true
To forgive is to be a fool

From the second fate was sealed
Like a deadbolt lock on a life on a wheel
The simple things that you would do
Would drive it home on a spinning wheel
That rolls you back 'til you feel
Just like I do

Just like a light down in a storm
The light goes out for some but for others
A fire is born

And I was told a rule of gold
But it was undone by you
But I know better now
The rule that is true
To forgive is to be a fool

I pray someone will find me first
Deliver me from this fatal curse
Now any of you so that I can breathe [wrong]
At the hardness swallowing me
All I can seem to do
Is be just like you
