Crawl

The last time I tried, this blew up all over me
You wanted friendship, a love no one would see
You wanted me on a leash, your dog on display
One more time, one more game; just one more heart to play

Well, now I'm free, and it tears you up deep inside
So through your aggression, your deficiencies hide
What will you do now that you have no more control
Over things that defined your once oppressive roles?

I can hear you
Screaming in the dark
As I take back
My torn and battered heart

So when will you crawl back to me?
It's just a matter of time now, why can't you see?
I want you down on bended knee
Begging for all the gracious things I gave freely
After all the distance you've brought me down
I think I've earned this righteous turnaround

The gloves are off now, everything's become fair game
Despite the path I take, the result's always the same
You've laid down a wall with the stones you've thrown at me
No longer will I take your pride and suffering

Tears on you cheek
I caress your face
And shove it in
Bitterness you can taste

So when will you crawl back to me?
It's just a matter of time now, why can't you see?
I want you down on bended knee
Begging for your life - this trip is no longer free
No more preconceptions to believe
Tired of these lies, all these fucking lies, that decieve

I've fought for you, stained my heart for you
I've cried for you, would've died for you
But you fucked with that, gave nothing back
Now I want it back, how do you like that?

So when will you crawl back to me?
It's just a matter of time now, why can't you see?
I want you down on bended knee
Begging for all the gracious things I gave freely
After all the distance you've brought me down
I think I've earned this righteous turnaround

So when will you crawl back to me?
It's just a matter of time now, why can't you see?
I want you down on bended knee
Begging for your life - this trip is no longer free
No more preconceptions to believe
Tired of these lies, all these fucking lies, that decieve

So when will you crawl back to me?
It's just a matter of time now, why can't you see?
I want you down on bended knee
Begging for all the gracious things I gave freely
After all the distance you've brought me down
I think I've earned this righteous turnaround
