Back To You

Vertical Horizon · Burning the Days [2009]

It's not enought to tear me up

You need watch me as I drop

Lying here in the wreakage of a life

Hit me hard push me down

While you stand your holy ground

Blame it all on the one you blew away

But dont you just feel fine

All of your kindness

All of your blindness

I hope you realize this

I'm giving it back to you

All of your hatred

That you hold so sacred

I am elated

To give it back to you

Tell me how it's for the best

You left me such a pretty mess

Cast away like flowers on the floor

Swimming in your scent and all the words you never meant

But you always knew to leave me wanting more

But you dont look so nice

All of your kindness

All of your blindness

I hope your reealize this

I'm giving it back to you

I have had enough of the blood and blame

Down in the dust and the rust and in the shame

All of your kindness

All of your blindness

I hope you realize this

I'm giving it back to you

All of your hatred

That you hold so sacred

I am elated

To give it back to you

back to you

It's not enought to tear me up

I need to watch you as you drop
