I'm asking you to look at me
What do you think you see
Chances are it's not what's really there
A color faded through overuse
In search of a simple truth
Chances are it was never really there
Can't pacify the unsatisfied
Or rectify hurt caused by lies
Can't change the past
Can't change the past
Dying behind a liar's grin
Just let me sleep again
Chances are I'm rotten to the bone
If I'm around you should walk away
I've nothing good to say
Chances are I should always be alone
Can't justify how I terrorized
Your entire life with all my lies
Can't take it back
Can't take it back
A billion or so other men
Would treat you better than I ever can
They'd give you the world and
Ask nothing in return
Honestly I'd like to see
You kick the dust from your tired feet
And never look back
Just let me ******* burn
But your eyes show another life
Where maybe I can make things right
Forget the past
Forget the past
