(Intro)
I was brought to my knees
By our last conversation
I was calling your bluff like you'd loaded that gun with a flag

(Verse 1)
I could not stop puking platitudes
'Cause I couldn't give you up
Or keep yours down
I wreaked of desperation
How did you stand the smell?

(Chorus)
And I could feel the shame I buried
Under all my anger
This was my last chance
But God forbid
I would show some understanding
I'm just scared I'll be left alone

(Verse 2)
I froze
Let the mutiny fester
Petrified like some statue walking a plank
'Cause I watched them chiseling
They carved my body out of rock
Then had the stones
To ask I bend
To hear their accusations
I could not contest the fact that
(Chorus)
And I could feel the shame I buried
Under all my anger
This was my last chance
But God forbid
I would show some understanding
I'm just scared I'll be left alone

(Bridge)
I was brought to my knees
By our last conversation

(Chorus)
And I could feel the shame I buried
Under all my anger
This was my last chance
But God forbid
I would show some understanding
I'm just scared

(Chorus Extended)
So I'll toss and turn
And find a way to overstate
The way I feel
Because god forbid
I would show some understanding
I'm just scared
That if you all leave
That I'll be left alone
