lyrics
Was this how life was supposed to be,
Was this what they had in mind?
Two lost souls searching endlessly
For something they’ll never find.
But I’ll go, cause I lost my faith in myself, and I lost my faith in you.
I lost my faith in myself, and I lost my faith in you.
Oh I wish that you were far away,
I’ve lived to regret that day you came.
Because I know that wherever we go from here,
That things can never be the same.
But you know I did everything I could
To bring us to that happy end,
And we’ve wasted each and every second chance, we’ve gone back and forth and back again.
We’ve gone back again.
So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar.
Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores.
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
And when I think of how you used to be,
Before I sucked the life from you,
I wonder how things got this way.
Why was this the only fate we knew?
Now you can cut me loose, I’ve got the knife in hand, I’ve put that thought back in your head.
Cause we’re holding on when there’s nothing left,
And all that trust is torn to shreds.
It’s been torn to shreds.
So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar.
Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores.
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
So this is how it was meant to be.
This is what they had in mind.
Two lost souls searching endlessly
For something they’ll never find.
So don’t go, you’ve got to have faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in you.
You’ve got to have faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in you.
You can still have some faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in you.
You’ve got to have faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in,
I lost my faith in you
So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar.
Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores.
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
Back for more...I keep coming back for more
Back for more...I keep coming back for more
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
Was this what they had in mind?
Two lost souls searching endlessly
For something they’ll never find.
But I’ll go, cause I lost my faith in myself, and I lost my faith in you.
I lost my faith in myself, and I lost my faith in you.
Oh I wish that you were far away,
I’ve lived to regret that day you came.
Because I know that wherever we go from here,
That things can never be the same.
But you know I did everything I could
To bring us to that happy end,
And we’ve wasted each and every second chance, we’ve gone back and forth and back again.
We’ve gone back again.
So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar.
Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores.
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
And when I think of how you used to be,
Before I sucked the life from you,
I wonder how things got this way.
Why was this the only fate we knew?
Now you can cut me loose, I’ve got the knife in hand, I’ve put that thought back in your head.
Cause we’re holding on when there’s nothing left,
And all that trust is torn to shreds.
It’s been torn to shreds.
So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar.
Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores.
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
So this is how it was meant to be.

So don’t go, you’ve got to have faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in you.
You’ve got to have faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in you.
You can still have some faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in you.
You’ve got to have faith in yourself,
Though I lost my faith in,
I lost my faith in you
So promise me, oh promise me you’ll leave me at the altar.
Promise me, oh promise me you’ll swim for brighter shores.
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
Back for more...I keep coming back for more
Back for more...I keep coming back for more
I have always been running from those things that have appalled me,
But I just can’t stop myself from coming back for more.
