For My Sake
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.
I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes
And a smile on your face
And I'm missing those days again
Yeah I'm missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine
Should be taking the blame
Cuz It's raining on me again
Yeah It's raining on me again
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost was me
For my sake, please
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise
Was never meant to last
So Im taking you on, I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise
Im never looking back
For my sake
For my sake
Tell my something that's poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you weren't like the rest
And I'll never ask you again
And I'll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I'm leaving that all behind
And there is nothing gonna change my mind
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost was me
For my sake, please
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise
Was never meant to last
So Im taking you on, I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise
Im never looking back
For my sake
For my sake
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost was me
For my sake, please
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough's enough
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest, your promise
Was never meant to last
So Im taking you on, I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise
Im never looking back
For my sake
For my sake
