The Light You Burned (feat. Trials)

(I thought we had)

(Such a good thing goin', yeah)

(Now the light you burned)

(Is dyin' out so slowly)

I thought we had

Such a good thing goin', yeah

Now the light you burned

Is dyin' out so slowly

For starters, I ain't heartless, I don't hate them

But I was starvin' and parted our relations

I never live in the past like the forsaken

I was ill, you were never the master of your patience

We were martyrs for this mayhem

Now you're passin' your ass out to artists as replacements

I know it's harder to father than to make friends

But you see, I'm proud, regardless where my day ends

It was a task to ask you just to pay rent

And you laughed, 'cause my heart was in the basement

Never targeted the market just to make ends

Wasn't all scars, there were parts of it that made sense

Walkin' away were the hardest conversations

Hope you learned, if you're smart, you shouldn't date friends

And I still don't understand you

So I gotta say fuck you, thank you, huh, come on

I thought we had

(Man, I thought that we had)

Such a good thing goin', yeah

(But we don't, but we don't, but we don't)

Now the light you burned

(Now the light that you burned)

Is dyin' out so slowly

(And we go, and we go, and we go)

Must be hard trying to keep the façade

Here we are, you nothing, me needin' a laugh

Went from drivin' to not even a seat in the car

Still lyin' now they're kissin' every cheek of my ass

From family tree to just another leaf in the park

Hope these bright ideas help you see in the dark

It's like first you say somethin', second you blame others

Third, burn the bridge like the first Rage cover

See, they don't know, and they never will, what we been through

It's not you, it's me, nope, it's you

I've got a lot of love for things you did

If it only added up to them things you missed

Guess that's it, heard that you were runnin' with him

Saw you settled down now and had a couple of kids

Shit, the world keeps spinning like a bottle top

See the light you burned started something that I ain't gonna stop

I thought we had

(Man, I thought that we had)

Such a good thing goin', yeah

(But we don't, but we don't, but we don't)

Now the light you burned

(Now the light that you burned)

Is dyin' out so slowly

(And we go, and we go, and we go)

What a soulful old anthem

You used to burn brighter

Now you couldn't hold a lighter to a lantern

Went from fighter to a phantom

Invited inside of my life, but you a bantam

Weight with some heavyweight issues

Had to separate with you, get you heavy-grade tissues

For all your mood swings, so not amusing

You could blow the rock out a mood ring

You can blow the rocks and the tubing

Man, you can go super hoe the block for a shoestring

Budget, for all I care, and this is what I got for all my carin'

So fuck it

Nah, I ain't sleepin' on the couch

You can sleep on the carpet

I'ma take the bed and sleep like a starfish

Hog all the blankets and sleep off the lagers

And wake up in the morning like we feelin' marvelous

I thought we had

(Man, I thought that we had)

Such a good thing goin', yeah

(But we don't, but we don't, but we don't)

Now the light you burned

(Now the light that you burned)

Is dyin' out so slowly

(And we go, and we go, and we go)

(Things change and days turn to nights)

(You wanna hate me, then hate me)

(Things cha', things, things change, things change)

(If you only, if you only, if you only knew that)

(No turnin' back now)

(You're gone with the wind)

(You wanna hate me, then hate me)

(No turn, turn, t-t-turn, turnin' back)

(Things change, things change, that's that)

I thought we had

(Man, I thought that we had)

Such a good thing goin', yeah

(But we don't, but we don't, but we don't)

Now the light you burned

(Now the light that you burned)

Is dyin' out so slowly

(And we go, and we go, and we go)

Now the light you burned, goin', yeah

Now the light you burned, goin', yeah

Now the light you burned, goin', yeah

Now the light you burned, goin', yeah
