Altercations

Forget it, your notions or doubts, if they want you around they would tell you
I said it, I’m calling you out. Your voice is too loud to be silenced
They’ve left it, so how can you allow your own grim marginalization?
They’re talking about something you know nothing about and they won’t change the conversation
But I will

Both my hands were tied behind my back
But I was the one who put in the gag
I tried and I tried and I tried to tell you the truth
But I lied and I lied and I lied cuz I’m scared to lose you

I let it, deteriorate. What some call fate I call failure
So I’m fixing to fix this mistake to right this wrong and tell her
We’re quiet, she's sitting next to me but the words just don’t escape me they imprison me and flee
We’re silent but it’s deafening to keep, these terms inside my head and watch her fall asleep

I tried and then I tried and then I tried
I lied and then I lied and then I lied

I didn’t know she cut the rope but I can’t let go, no I can’t let go. (Don’t let go)

I tried and then I tried and then I tried
I lied and then I lied and then I lied
So I’ll try I’ll try I’ll try to tell you the truth
It’s true, it’s true it’s true I still love you
