I never wanted you to be waiting, never intended to be defeated
To write this song ink these words, find the meaning in despair
I convinced myself that the beauty is in the attempt
I couldn't look away and I bore all this contempt
I gave up on myself and fought for what I thought was right
I barely questioned my weakened faith in hope with a few doubts
I confused daylight with the darkest of nights
It was all meant to shine, it ended up a burning lie
I blamed my own shortcomings with guilt and desolation
I came back to my senses to think we're better off this way
I kept longing for a better change in vain
Assuming the end would justify the pain
I gave up on myself and fought for what I thought was right
I barely questioned my weakened faith in hope with a few doubts
I confused daylight with the darkest of nights
It was all meant to shine, it ended up a burning lie
Why try to make amends
With no heart left to mend
Nothing but a bitter end
I gave up on myself and fought for what I thought was right
I barely questioned my weakened faith in hope with a few doubts
I confused daylight with the darkest of nights
It was all meant to shine, it ended up a burning lie
