I Never Was - System Syn

I want an enemy like you

I want to lie until it’s true

I’ll trade this life for something new

If that means I can blame it all on you

You want to run away from this

Detach yourself from what you’ll miss

You’d trade this life for one last kiss

Anything for instant bliss

I don’t think you know me now

And I don’t think you ever will

You live your life moving on

But you are always standing still

Fighting tides of burden

Red from all the lives that you once wore

You pealed away your human face

And I don’t know you anymore

They say everything must die

Apply that now to you and I

These things you hold are in the past

And you know why they didn’t last

It wasn’t my fault, it wasn’t our time

It’s not like life came with a perfect design

There’s one person to blame and you know it’s not me

I’ll give you one fucking guess who that person could be

I owe you nothing

I don’t owe you anything at all

How am I the enemy

By design or destiny

This is want life was meant to be

And you thrive off the tragedy

You can say it’s my fault if that helps you to sleep

Or just choke on the secrets that you made me keep

You were afraid of me then and you’re afraid of me still

You want to see through me but you never will
