There was a time when I thought we'd make it through,
just me and you,
but I never thought I'd die this way you see,
no you, just me,
and the hardest part is the way it feels,
how it slowly kills,
now I'm hating life, 'cause it's hard to breathe,
and I don't believe,
that you would do a single thing,
to stop the pain you bring,
So this is my resignation,
to this indignation,
no more contemplation,
or exasperation,
'cause I am though,
with all that you,
have given me,
this pain you bring,
I'll set me free,
from everything,
I'll finally be,
free of me,
Truth be told I was my own worst enemy,
not you, it's me,
but I've found my way out of this cage,
this selfish rage,
and I know I'll let it go, the way that I blamed you,
how I framed you,
so if you could, if you would just wait to see,
then you'd believe,
that I've changed, not strange but better,
so we can be together,
Well, this is my resignation,
to all of my indignation,
after some contemplation,
I let go my exasperation,
please believe that this is true,
all I want is only you,
say that you've forgiven me,
for all of the pain I bring,
'cause I've finally set it free,
all of it, everything,
so say you don't want to be,
free of me,
I got so far, tried so hard to be a better man,
I did all I can,
but it seems it doesn't mean a thing to you,
I guess you're through,
'cause here I am, an empty man, alone again,
I'll never win,
why can't you just see though all the pain,
see past my stains,
I really did all I could, all for good, still misunderstood,
I wish you would,
just get over it, give me the benefit of the doubt,
let's work this out,
now I see it's too late, that you hate the man you loved,
can't rise above,
I made mistakes, your heart still breaks from promises,
I didn't give,
so sorry that I let you down, I hit the ground, I can't get up,
I've had enough,
now I'm giving in, once again, to the pain,
I'm not okay,
And this is my resignation,
cannot take this degradation,
I am done with contemplation,
there is no hope for my salvation,
so I guess that I am through,
with this life without you,
thanks to what I've given me,
all of this pain I bring,
I could never set me free,
from everything,
I'll never be,
free of me,
There was a time when I thought we'd make it through...
