Redeemed



Take away this memory,
Take away this pain.
Tell me everything you remember of me,
Tell me everything in vein.
Admit you didn't care,
Admit you had no shame.
Ask me the question if you dare,
Was there any gain?

I'll tell you this,
So listen good.
This is all bullsh*t,
Clearly you think I'm misunderstood.
Life isn't about you,
It isn't just about me.
It's about the picture we drew,
The hearts we set free.

So think about this when you're sitting there awake,
"Was our relationship as it seemed?"
Is that a feeling you can shake,
Was it something you dreamed?
Did you truly ache,
Just remember I am the one who is redeemed.
