Don't want

Another mistake

Don't need

Another reason

Don't have

Anymore to give

So I keep heading

To that river

And I wash away

All these sins

These dirty secrets

That are slowly killing me

 

I know better

I gave it up a long time ago

I know

But I keep praying

I keep chasing down

Old antidotes

Long past memories

Maybe something

Anything

Inside me

Lost

Could save me

From me

Maybe something

Could spark 

Some life back into me

Just maybe

Is what I keep telling myself

 

I didn't ask 

For you to be here

I didn't need

Anyone

But me

I didn't want you to know

Or see

The ugly

Inside of me

So take your words

You sympathy

They hurt

And take them

Far away
