What was it then, you thought, that set you back

I wonder when you decided you would attack

Perhaps you thought it was ultimate

And nothing really mattered anymore

But I was there, I never saw black or white

And you were grey, neither friend nor foe, and I

Thought that we would make it through

But you had kept score

Cause on the scales of guilt I will always descend

But I hoped for your sake that this hate would one day end

All I want you to know is this

I won’t disappear so you have peace

Now it seems to me

that it was you who needed me desperately

To clean yourself, take it to your own hell

Leave me be

You've gotta leave me be

Cause on the scales of guilt I will always descend

But I hoped for your sake that this hate would one day end

You gotta pardon me, but I am moving on

Don’t lecture me, I’ll fight my demons on my own

All I want you to know is this

I won’t disappear so you have peace

Cause the last thing you want is

For me to get things right

I need acceptance cause I need to rebuild

My setting stone will never be guilt

I’ve said my sorry and I truly am

But don’t expect me to ever repent

I won’t repent. Cause on the scales of guilt I will always descend

You gotta pardon me, but I am moving on

Don’t lecture me, I’ll fight my demons on my own
