Lyrics
The River
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.
Go!
Trust is dead, like everything else you said
Each word more meaningless than the next
Your lips and your lies have severed the ties
I don't deserve this and you don't deserve me
I should've known but I doubted myself
Gave you every benefit of a doubt
I wanted no one else
But I guess I wasn't enough for you
Don't pretend like we can recover
When you chose the lust of another
Where did I go wrong?
I know I wasn't perfect but I certainly tried so hard
Was it a moment of weakness, or was it the thrill?
Did you ache for a feeling, that you faked to feel?
Don't pretend like we can recover
When you chose the lust of another
I see your wandering eyes
And second glances but
I see through your lies no second chances
Cut me free, you'll never be what I need
I hope you choke on the words I was lead to believe
Like a puppet on your strings, control means everything
And in my heart I want to forgive you
That doesn't mean I'll forget, you'll always be my regret
Here's to a past I'll never need
No here’s to you
Rest in peace
