sometimes wonder if I’ll be remembered For what I’ve done After I’m gone I really only ever wanted to do what was right Not just for myself But for everyone involved in this I sometimes think I’ve lost heart just a little And things seem to slip by so much faster now Just so you know This isn’t what I wanted It’s gotten to be too much It’s my fault I should’ve known
And maybe it’s easier for you to put me down this time But I’ve done all the thinking The work and worry up to now You say you don’t care No purpose left in our endeavors And I make you angry with the simple fact I don’t feel the way you do
My arms around you What I find; what I find within you Your arms around me What I’ve found within me Now it’s all come to nothing
Never claimed to have all the answers You feel I’ve cheated you somehow You know it never was for myself I only wanted to belong and be loved
You couldn’t see what I felt I never promised to be your reason or your savior Everything you need
My arms around you What I find; what I find within you Your arms around me What I find within me Now it’s all come to nothing
Though we’ve tried nothing’s changed Sit back and watch the pieces fall Don’t leave anything worth saving Degrading all we’ve built To dust and ashes What passes for memories of guilt
And in my mind your anger is taking over Everything you see
This madness, this is your pride Can’t you see that all your envy eats you up inside
Used to want to help us all It’s too late the end is here Nothing pure; petty hate; all is lost Could it be that you still believe you’re right?
So I didn’t fit your grand picture Who’s the fool? Can you tell? Me or you What’s left but hurt when you say that you feel this way Goodbye to peace Just say goodbye to yesterday How many dreams we’ve lost to pain How many lifetimes Will we be forced to give away?
Couldn’t see what I felt I never promised you To be your reason or your savior, to be your everything
My arms around you What I find; what I find within you Your arms around me What I find within me Now it’s all come to nothing
So I didn’t fit your solution Who’s the fool? Can you tell? Me or you What’s next It is hurt; is it anger To me you’re a stranger with far too much to prove
