With Or Without You

(Album: Everything I Used To Trust - 2013)

I'm starting over, I'm moving on.
The me you thought you knew is dead and gone.
This was never about you, it was always about me.
And who I want to be.
You resist the winds of change,
That carry me over waves into a different terrain.
I've sailed past you and now I'm not looking back,
To the life I left at last.

When you said you were in it for the long run,
You let me down.
You disappeared again but this time it's for good.
I'll face this alone.
You'll never know what it's like
To carry the weight of the world on your shoulders.
Forgotten all of your values and promises,
And abandoned your trusted friends.
Like we never meant a thing.
(We can do this with or without you)

And now you want me to go back?
It's not that I won't, it's just that I can't.
It's too late to turn this ship around.
As it's captain if it sinks, I drown.
Our course is set just like my mind,
And in the end you'll come out behind.
I've sailed past you and now I'm not looking back,
To life I left at last.

We've changed for the better, we write what comes out,
We scream our lungs out, we don't wanna be anybody but ourselves.
We don't try to please anybody but ourselves.
We've changed for the better,
Learn to forgive but we'll never forget
All the people who tried to pull us down.
We'll keep this moving with our feet on the ground.
