Absolved

If I could be all you could see

Whatever it takes to claim your memory

I'd make things right, now it's too late

Somebody tell me that this isn't real

Tell me all the things I need to hear

Tell me anything that'll make it clear

Guess you know the struggle's real inside

Suffocating me with pride

My scars spell out your name

The letters etched in my skin

As I push you away

I can't help wondering what could have been

Say anything before you go, I'm so ashamed and vulnerable

You've got me feeling like I've made you my worst enemy

In this pathetic state of mind seems like I'm stuck on repeat

Can't help but grieve that we were only doomed to fall

Tell me all the things I need to hear

Tell me anything that'll make it clear

Guess you know the struggle's real inside

Suffocating me with pride

My scars spell out your name

The letters etched in my skin

As I push you away

I can't help wondering what could have been

Scarred with your name

The letters etched in my skin

Push you away

I can't help wondering what we could have been

As I beg you to stay, part of me senses all our colors turning to grey

As you beg me to stay, tables turn and you're left without any saints to pray

We have to succumb to the fateful prophecy

My scars spell out your name

The letters etched in my skin

As I push you away

I can't help wondering what could have been

Scarred with your name

The letters etched in my skin

Push you away

I can't help wondering what we could have been

Sanctified, crucified, absolved
