I've tried and tried not to let you down
All these years you've been my strength and hope
Straight through thick and thin I don't give up
Cause that's just not my thing

But now I'll stand my own ground
I have paved the path I walk on
Before you stare into me
Know that you've been blind all along

I hope someday you might just see
Me out of your blinded eyes
But I just know that day won't come
Cause I'll be long gone by then

Why won't these pieces fit?
The pieces lie, but none will fit

Your verities are wrong
You're too accustomed to what you know
Believe me when I say
You're too accustomed to what you know

I hope someday you might just see
Me out of your blinded eyes
But I just know that day won't come
Cause I'll be long gone

I will remember these things of our past
I will remember what you used to mean

So why won't this come together?
The pieces lie but none will fit
To hold this all together
To get this off my back
So believe me when I say it
You've been living blind all along
You let this fall to pieces
These pieces lie but none will fit
Why won't this come together?
So believe me when I say it
