Your Turn Now

(album: For My Father - 2020)

I thought we had something that couldn't be replaced, yeah
We drew the perfect picture then you just erased it, erased it

You're full of empty promises
I should have known not to forgive
But every time I make the same mistakes
It's time to get this off my check
So keep the memories that I left
Just don't expect that selfless love again

I tried letting you in but you shut me out
I tried holding you up, you just let us both down
Tried to silence my pain when I wanted to shout
Now you're asking for love 'cause you've run out but
Just because you want it, doesn't mean you need it
You could say you're sorry, but you'll never mean it
I tried letting you in but you shut me out
You told me everyone hurts, well, it's your turn now

Sometimes, I get so hurt I couldn't stop the shaking
And I hope the one lesson you've learned is trust dies when you break it, you break it

You're full of empty promises
I should have known not to forgive
But every time I make the same mistakes
It's time to get this off my check
So keep the memories that I left
Just don't expect that selfless love again

I tried letting you in but you shut me out
I tried holding you up, you just let us both down
Tried to silence my pain when I wanted to shout
Now you're asking for love 'cause you've run out but
Just because you want it, doesn't mean you need it
You could say you're sorry, but you'll never mean it
I tried letting you in but you shut me out
You told me everyone hurts, well, it's your turn now

You had a hold on me
It's time to cut the ties
I need you out my life, out my life
I've wasted all my tears, now it's your turn to cry

Oh, 'cause I tried letting you in but you shut me out
I tried holding you up, you just let us both down
Tried to silence my pain when I wanted to shout
Now you're asking for love 'cause you've run out but
Just because you want it, doesn't mean you need it
You could say you're sorry, but you'll never mean it
I tried letting you in but you shut me out
You told me everyone hurts, well, it's your turn now
