lyrics

(Verse 1)
You’ll never know
The winters I spent by the sea
Thinking of your mother
And just how much she really meant to me
But I made this vow
An oath or a promise
To look over your shoulder
But still keep my distance
I wonder if he’ll see through me
I wonder just how you’re doing

(Pre Chorus)
So please
Just believe me
It’s okay to be young
It’s okay to naïve
Cherish every moment
Because it’s gone before you know it.

(Chorus)
So I’ll hide in the shadow
Using every instance to lengthen the distance
Wishing you well while praying to God
That you want me to burn in hell
It’s not what I want
But you know it’s the only way I can say
Of keeping the promise I made to your mother
That I’d always keep you safe

(Verse 2)
You’ll never know
Of the nights where I went without sleep
Of the nights where I knew that keeping this promise
Would be the death of me
But I chose this cup
That I willingly drank from
I dug out my grave
And I laid at the bottom
I hope that this makes you happy
I hope this is where you want me


(Pre Chorus 2)
So please
Just believe me
I need you to hate me and never forgive me
Take the grudge to your grave
That I hope you find at old age
Never get over the chip on you shoulder
Relive it over and over and over and over again

(Chorus)

(Bridge/Outro)
And then he asked
After all this time, after all this time, after all this time
And then he asked
As if I wouldn’t say, as if I wouldn’t say, as if I wouldn’t say
Always
