lyrics
I remember yesterday
Never would forget the day
I drove you home like a frozen tear
Violated, out of place
Scars across an empty face
I wish that we could just disappear
God forgot me
God forgot you
God forgot this living hell
that you’ve been through
And now I want to eat your pain
but she says...
(She says)
Don’t touch me, don’t hold me,
don’t look at me that way anymore, she says...
Don’t touch me, don’t hold me,
don’t look at me that way anymore.
‘Cause I can still see the lies you’re living through.
A broken home, a broken seem
where the stitches used to be
that used to bind us close with trust.
I’ve climbed the walls, I’ve climbed the fence.
You’re so afraid of violence
and it’s turning our lives to rust
God forgot me
God forgot you
God forgot this living hell
that you’ve been through
And now I want to eat your pain
but she says...
(She says)
Don’t touch me, don’t hold me,
don’t look at me that way anymore, she says...
Don’t touch me, don’t hold me,
don’t look at me that way anymore.
If I’m the light your souls been looking for,
open the door, open the door.
I can’t hold your head
when you shake the bed
open the door, open the door
and I will follow you.
God forgot me
God forgot you
God forgot this living hell
that you’ve been through
And now I want to eat your pain
but she says...
(She says)
Don’t touch me, don’t hold me,
don’t look at me that way anymore, she says...
Don’t touch me, don’t hold me,
don’t look at me that way anymore.
If I’m the light your soul’s been looking for,
open the door, open the door.
Just open the door
