lyrics

i shouldn't have to beg you to love me
in my darkest times
the puppet strings you're pulling
left me with a captive mind
i thought you were an angel
and i thought i could try
to maybe get to heaven
if i stuck by your side
what if i had stayed this time?
if i didn't run away this time?
would you remember my name this time?

I shouldn't have to beg for you to love me
just tell me that you don't
maybe i'll finally get a grip and let go of your ghost
I shouldn't have to beg for you to love me
just tell me that you don't
maybe i'll finally get a grip and let go of your ghost

you ignored every word i spoke
you were the one who said
with every mistake you'd make,
they would never happen again
i couldn't force you to change
since your mind was set
there was no such thing as progress
this is how it had to end
i won't choke on your misery
i won't swallow my words
i won't choke on your misery anymore

I shouldn't have to beg for you to love me
just tell me that you don't
maybe i'll finally get a grip and let go of your ghost
I shouldn't have to beg for you to love me
just tell me that you don't
maybe i'll finally get a grip and let go of your ghost

I shouldn't have to beg for you to love me
just tell me that you don't
maybe i'll finally get a grip and let go of your ghost

If WPE keeps making music like this album, I will keep buying it. For me this has the perfect amount of energy and sincerity. Also, the recording and mixing is done well (thanks, Kyle). Garamek
