Lyrics
Like This You Mean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You have embraced the awful
A petty excuse for an author
Scripted a false conviction
Cast out what you believed in
And here we are
A vain attempt to light the dark
You’ll never see that this is love
A constant chance to rise above
And we’re not coming down
You want to be the answer you’ve defined
And you won’t ever question why
So go ahead and revel in what you’ve revised
You didn’t change a thing this time
I had no doubt you would edit the meaning out
But like all clichés you will lie in the bed you’ve made
Right your wrong and write yourself out
Here we are, and we’re not coming down
You want to be the answer you’ve defined
And you won’t ever question why
So go ahead and revel in what you’ve revised
You didn’t change a thing this time
