The Relapse

You were the one I trusted

Spilled my guts

You were there, then you were gone

Left me behind without a second thought

Then you come see me

Give me worthless apologies

Begging me, pleading me

For a chance that would be the reason that I am guilty

I try and try, but you never cared

When I needed you the most, you were nowhere

Nowhere to be seen, nowhere near me

Then I realized that I'm a fool to think you actually loved me

You were my December

When everything was colder, darker

I could finally escape

But you still drive me insane

I tremble at your name

You're stuck in my brain

You were the drug, the addiction

Seeming so safe, then I end up ruined

You may come back, you can try

You can go ahead, look me in the eyes and lie

But now I forgive you, I've had enough

I'm tired of the relapse, but you were far, from ever being done
