[Verse 1]
My friend, your will is weak
I know one day you'll be scared of me
My problem is, you don't understand
That this is how I'd rather live my life instead
You and me, we are exactly the same
I hope one day you believe it
Always seen as the second-best
I always thought it was a test, but it's a matter of respect
And you have none for me
You'd rather see me fail than have me under your wing
You were the man I could never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?

[Chorus]
Every second's a loss, I've failed you the same
Compassions gone for me, no more settling
Somehow I still feel so broken at the sight of myself at the edge
You will never let me go and never let me in

[Verse 2]
You won't break me
This isn't worth all the effort and suffering
You don't care about anything I need
Leaving you abandoned is my best memory
I know one day you'll see we're the same
I know one day you'll resent what you have come to be
I know one day you'll see we're the same
I know one day you'll resent what you have come to be
You were the man I would never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
You were the man I would never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
[Chorus]
Every second's a loss, I've failed you the same
Compassions gone for me, no more settling
Somehow I still feel so broken at the sight of myself at the edge
You will never let me go and never let me leave

[Bridge]
You've mistaken my love for a weakness
I won't let you just take advantage of my heart
You've mistaken my love for a weakness
I won't let you just take advantage of my heart
Have we mistaken our pride for our progress?
Do we accept and learn from mistakes?
I won't be the same, I will not relate
You can push me off, day after day
But don't expect me to stay
You've mistaken my love for a weakness

[Breakdown]
Forsaken

[Outro]
Yeah, you were the man I could never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
You were the man I would never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
You were the man I could never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
You were the man I would never be
Why'd you leave so suddenly?
