Exit Se7en - Violet

You did everything you swore you never would
Good job holding down the earth on the shaky ground that you stood
Lie to me, cry to me, promise me, rinse and repeat
I've never had a problem accepting defeat
You like to point out that I was the one who left
But that ain't quite the truth, just another lie that you kept
Though you lay beside me every night as you slept
Your heart was already gone, my time was lost to your theft, but

I saw violet in your eyes, that's why I always try
Despite all your lies, I came home every night

Hey, remember that time I spent three years being the sole provider here?
And I never complained, I always maintained, and now you say I'm unreliable, yeah?
Hey, what the fuck lady?
I think you did too much, lady
Too much ice turned your brain into mush, lady
Hush, lady. It's alright, baby
We got a little crazy and the truth is a little hazy
But I was thinking maybe you could mellow out for our baby

I saw violet in your eyes, that's why I always try
Despite all your lies, I came home every night
Now there's violence in your eyes, it's way too much to hide
But we had a baby girl, goddamn we gotta try
I know I wasn't right, but maybe I wasn't wrong
Maybe there's a light deep within this song

When I sit and think about all the times you locked me out,
I can't understand why I ever let you in
I may be useless, but I'm not that stupid
As I pack up my shit, the sad starts to quit, but I got a little bit of useless regret
I don't even know if I'll get totally over all these emotions, a mental roller coaster
And I can't turn away from the road that I've paved
I've got a baby girl and I can't even
Imagine what to say if I can't find a way to show her that I do what I say
She's my reason
Maybe there's a light deep within this song
I do what I say
She's my reason
Goddamn, I gotta try
