Because We Had To The 502s

Well you were wrong about the way
You said my memory would change
Day after day, you claimed
I’d find it inside of me to grow
Away from the pain
And the shame and the guilt
And the questions
Wondering what did I do wrong
To you, to decide it was time to go

Because we had to
Because I tried the best that I could
To have and to hold you
In the way I knew that I should
And we’d still be breathing darling
If I did the little you asked of me
But I couldn’t, so now we’re nothing at all

The way that the night camе down
You were alone in your room
With somеbody else
But you were too big, and bold in my eyes
And I was to cowardly to call all your lies
Well I didn’t know not telling the truth
Would cost me my soul, and most of my youth
So with you I stayed in spite of myself
And I don’t know why
