Far in the distance This is the view from the other side How did I let this pass me by? Took me for granted Planted thorns in this garden of mine What are the chances? My hope has died Please have mercy You've unnerved me I don't deserve this pain So don't break my heart, I ain't never done nothing to deserve this I'm torn apart You've had your fun, do you suppose I earned it? Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees? Don't speak, don't breathe, You bring out the devil in me Thinking it over Those were days dark as ebony nights The end of October seemed like a lifetime I had a suspicion But didn't want to believe you a liar You had a mission to prove me right You took my trust Ground it to dust Found out I knew better [Chorus] And I don't wanna feel the pain And I don't want another day Shackled to your ball and chain You're entirely to blame And I'm so tired of explaining The sensation of no Novocain [Chorus] I don't have a prayer if There is no charity in your heart Couldn't you spare me? I've done my part [Chorus]
