lyrics

I wouldn’t hold you to your words
I wouldn’t hold on just to see it
I wouldn’t hold you to your promise
I ll give you all the time you need
I want to know if you’ve forgotten
I hear you talking in your sleep
I want to know if it was worth it
I want to know if it was honest
I want to know if it was me

If it was everything you wanted
It was everything you need
It wasn’t real just like a dream and you lost focus
And you would stare it in the eyes
You saw the face of what you’ve been
Was it real or just a token of your purpose
To get over me?

I couldn’t change it if I tried
I didn’t say the things you wanted
I wouldn’t hold you to your dark side
I wouldn’t hold it up to see
I want to know just what you meant
As you move from place to place
I want to know just what you wanted
But I don’t even know for myself
In the first place

If it was everything you wanted
It was everything you need
Was it real just like a dream and you lost focus
And you would stare it in the eyes
You saw the face of what you’ve been
Was it real or just a token of your purpose
To get over me?

But the feeling wasn’t free
And in the process of the taking
When the faces are awakened
Would you turn the other cheek?

If it was everything you wanted
It was everything you need
Was it real or just a dream and you lost focus?
You would stare it in the eyes
You saw the face of what you’ve been
Was it real or just a token of your purpose
To get over me?
