lyrics

I can’t be to blame for your madness it’s sad but neither can you.
I know that you’ll go soon but I’ll never forget you, it’s hard now...
but this too shall pass.

You did what you had to do, I’d never judge you.
I couldn’t because I love you.
And we did what we thought was right, we didn’t talk,
we’d just let it slide 'cause we didn’t want to hurt you.

But I take it back, what I just said,
because it was really you hurting us instead, but in spite of all of it,
I still wanted to save you...
save me too.

And when it took over you and your color changed from pink to blue,
I just missed you.

I’m grown now and I finally see that some demons just can't be beat,
and life isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
