You said you would fight anybody that hurt me
but you must know it was you too
And now you would fight anyone but desert me
Is that what you wanted to do?
Was it about the crimes they committed
or the violence that you could choose?
If you could call our relationship sacred
and put it up on a shelf
and then say that I am a heretic
For wanting something for myself
I think that the damn sacred could come down a few steps
if us sinners could move up an inch
My heart is strong but my burden is heavy
Your mind is not wholly your own
The eyes that watch you bring pressure
my hands close around bone
You saved me one time before
but I am not the heretical misfit
you thought that you could protect
and you're not some holy crusader
with a righeous symbol on your chest
My greatest virtue is loyalty
to all who I've promised it to
and your worst sin is you destroyed and betrayed yourself
and it came to nothing
and you sent us all running
you did what you had to do
Now I want you to fight everybody that hurt me
(wait wait for me)
and heal the wounds that you've dealt
(I'm coming home)
join in my cause don't desert me
(stay stay with me)
you have more love than I've felt
(I'm coming home)
This is about the crimes they committed
(Pray pray for me)
now it is your chance to choose
(I'm coming home)
Please swallow the pride you've been gifted
(to you)
My dear I am counting on you
