I didn't hear the truth
You cried bitter tears
I didn't wipe your eyes
You drank bitter wine
I didn't ask for apology
You turned your back on me
I didn't wave goodbye
I didn't want to fix you
Because you weren't broken
I didn't want you here
Because I hunted you down
I didn't want to break you
So you would obey me
I didn't want you near
If you were afraid of me.
I didn't wait for years
Just to burn your memory
I waited for years
To be sure I was everything
I gave my life to darkness
So that I could be light
I gave my life to patience
In the unforgiving night
I didn't cry for you
For you were my something right
I only cried for me
To be mad enough to fight
I didn't need correcting
Just your intelligence
I didn't need directing
When I have common sense
I didn't need guidance
Just your logic and reason
But I don't need your words
When your love was but a season.
