Lift your glass to me, tell me I'm in control
Just pretend you were near, as I crawled from this hole
Shattered words leave your lips, you can spit while you rage

I can see through that smile, I can see past this stage

Now that I have found a place where I can stand

You've come back to offer me a second chance
Where were you when I needed someone's hand
Where were you when I was face down


Don't bother, to say you're sorry now
I don't need you, you came back just in time to hear me say

Don't bother, I can't hear you now
Just don't wake me, I found a place without you
When I close my eyes


Now lift your eyes to me, tell me you're by my side
Colors bleed through your lies, I won't let them be mine

How can you stand and preach, you did not fight this war
I can see past your ways, I can see through your score


This time I won't let you be the face I base my weight on
I must protect what's left, what's left of me, you're dead to me
I've made it fine without you, you can't be what I lean on

I must protect what's left, what's left of me, you're dead to me
