about

The title of this track dates pre-Before we Began. I finally got to use it.

lyrics

I wish that I could have a love
A love that won't let me be
A love that won't ever unsee
The way I am and keep me too

Why do they get to be so happy
They take love for granted
When it should be cherished
They play games and don't forgive

In my time away from the world
I've come to learn that I
Can't be happy until I die
And then What's fair I'll maybe get

If I go alone it's a shame
I had so much to have
I had so much to see
But you can't always get it

The gates up to heaven is good enough
It can find a way to be there above
If I can cleanse myself of my sins
Then I can truly be saved and content

But sometimes I find it had
To be content with that
I become selfish and careless
I give into my own-self

I don't think of you
I don't think of anyone but me
But I'm just human and I want
To change my ways, sometimes
