Never Wanted It This Way - Convictions

I tried to, make you stay

I tried to, make you stay…

I’m living with a ghost

Her memory I miss most

I am the lighthouse burning every night with no ship in sight

A poison kiss so divine, God I’d pray for the stars to align

This is the only life I’ve known;

heartbroken and alone!

Just lock me up and throw away the key

I don’t want to live my life in misery (misery)

I never wanted it, to be this way

And I never thought you’d walk away

And I never thought you’d walk away

I tried to make you stay

I tried to make you stay

I tried to make you, I tried to make you stay

So, cast my body out to sea

Erase my existence from history

I don’t want to live in misery

This is the end of you and me

I pray for rebirth as you flood the earth

Wash away this agony

My chest won’t beat again

I never wanted it, to be this way

And I never thought you’d walk away

And I never thought you’d walk away

I tried to make you stay

I tried to make you stay

I tried to make you, I tried to make you stay

I’ve grown tired and drained going through the motions

You’re slowly killing me

I hear the siren’s songs that play with my emotions

So here, my heart rests

At the bottom of the ocean!

I’m better off on my own

I won’t take you back

After everything we’ve been through

I won’t take you back

This time I’m walking away from you!

I’m walking away, from, you
