Lightning In A Bottle

Save the formalities for someone else
You're basically telling lies to yourself
Isn't it exhausting battling constantly?
Aren't you tired of playing the enemy?

You're no angel
Your sins will never be forgiven
I've made my changes
You're the only one that's still the same

The past you're clinging to
Will be the same one you regret
The only one that suffers
Is the one I'm trying to protect

Every instance is something new with you
And I know that this will pass in time
But I'm waiting

Gaining a step with you
Seems impossible
Its lusters fading, its getting old
And I don't think I can keep this up for long

Identity is what you stole from me
You tried to waste it
The one thing I tried hard to keep
And I'm not buying in

I'm a sinner
But my mistakes will be forgiven
I've made my changes
You're the only one that stays the same

The past you're clinging to
Will be the same one you regret
The only one that suffers
Is the one I'm trying to protect

Every instance is something new with you
And I know that this will pass in time
I'm waiting

You've kept half of my life away
Secured and locked up tight
The time has finally come
To set the record straight tonight

The past you're clinging to
Will be the same one you regret
The only one that suffers
Is the one I'm trying to protect

Every instance is something new with you
And I know that this will pass in time
I'm waiting
