Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?


Took me for granted
Planted thorns in this garden of mine

What are the chances?
My hope has died


Please have mercy
You've unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain


So don't break my heart,
I ain't never done nothing to deserve this

I'm torn apart
You've had your fun, do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?

Don't speak, don't breathe,
You bring out the devil in me


Thinking it over
Those were days dark as ebony nights
The end of October seemed like a lifetime


I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a liar

You had a mission to prove me right

You took my trust

Ground it to dust
Found out I knew better


[Chorus]

And I don't wanna feel the pain

And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain
You're entirely to blame

And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation of no Novocain


[Chorus]

I don't have a prayer if

There is no charity in your heart
Couldn't you spare me?
I've done my part


[Chorus]
