We shared a common trade of reasoning out the years 
Of failed affections and faces to forget 
You should have told me 
That the ties that made it all worth the while 
Were quickly becoming a race to the blame 
I tried to gain the advantage over you 
Its plain to see theres nothing I could do or say 
I tried to gain the advantage over you 
A sad parade with nothing left to lose or gain 
I could feel it coming 
Like a train wreck, rumbling off the tracks 
With every ounce of strength 
I strain to pay back that dirty money 
And the fortune abstract, but theres no feeling left intact 
For the victim is now a god, 
Doling out judgment, strike with divining rod 
I dont want to get involved, looks like youre doing fine 
But when I lay up at night, I can feel your eyes 
And I can see your eyes, and I go rushing in to a world inside 
Where theres none in between, and nothing can be denied 
Struck down and stripped of pride, 
That I could forgive you for once in our lives 
But I failed, and I dont know why, Ill never know why 
I failed and I dont know why
