Is this what you expected
All the blame you've deflected
You've perfected your talent
and turned it on me
I've tried starting over again
With the way
I've been treating my friends
And the way
they can influence me
in the end
Well it puts things
in perspective
All of the endings are
locked behind doors
Far beyond borders
or miles from the shore
So I dare still anticipate more
Of your misdeeds
The way we had it before
Now when I'm facing temptation
I move without hesitation
Wanting and acting are
one fluid motion for me
Whatever I used to resist
Is now at the top of my list
Along with all the nuances
I could've missed
Hanging and taken for granted
Every love song's a
mystery here
Fables and proverbs
just ring in my ear
But all the endings
aren't written in stone
It's the sweetest dream
I've ever known
I feel my instincts
returning to me
Eating the fruit of the
poisonous tree
Pick it dry and
return to the sea
Yearning for
The way we had it before
