The Night I Should Have...

Did the right thing in the wrong way.

Stood too long in the doorway without walking away

We looked at each other with

Contempt in our veins

When i opened my mouth i had nothing to say

And nothings changed

Maybe it's better this way

My best intentions withered away

All the time i spent on false sentiment

And the lame attempts of repression

I begged to realize

The expression of pain in your eyes

While you confessed through the shame in your smile

Your intentions sustained in denial

Now i walk away reluctantly

You left something that stuck with me

I know this will be the last time that we

Consider "one last time"

Walked through the door to find out you weren't lying

And you weren't leading me on

And your worst problems weren't the one's in your head

All the time i spent on false sentiment

And the lame attempts of expression

Refused to realize the repression of pain in your eyes

The confession of pain in your smile

Your intentions remain in disguise

All the time i spent on false sentiment

And the lame attempts of expression

Refused to realize the repression of pain in your eyes

The confession of pain in your smile

Your intentions remain in disguise
