This is worth it's weight in words
To give in now would be absurd
So keep your retracted
Retractions to yourself

This plays upon my sympathies
I shouldn't have come, I know I should leave
But they said, but they said
I should see this for myself

And now these ties are severing
And I was saving everything
Can't believe, I believed
I believed that this might help

Making amends, seems so far out of hand
Still holding strong to where we stand
Must have lost all sight
Of how we ever felt

Gettin' even, gettin' even
Gettin' ready to fight
Gotten smug, gotten ugly
And lost all sense of pride

And I'm forgetting, I'm forgetting
Why I wanted to cry
And I'm still waiting on a day
No hearts would die

Gettin' even, gettin' even
Gettin' ready to fight
Gotten smug, gotten ugly
And lost all sense of pride

And I'm forgetting, I'm forgetting
Why I wanted to cry
And I'm waiting on a day
No hearts would die

Plays upon my sympathies
I shouldn't have come, I know I should leave
But they said, but they said
I should see this for myself

Now these ties are severing
And I was saving everything
Can't believe, I believed
I believed that this might help

Gettin' even, gettin' even
Gettin' ready to fight
Gotten smug, gotten ugly
And lost all sense of pride

And I'm forgetting, I'm forgetting
Why I wanted to cry
I'm still waiting on a day
No hearts would die

Gettin' even, gettin' even
Gettin' ready to fight
Gotten smug, gotten ugly
And lost all sense of pride

And I'm forgetting, I'm forgetting
Why I wanted to cry
And I'm waiting on a day
No hearts would die
