"You" lyrics

I wear these marks of shame
Not with pride my head's held low
And I aim beyond where I stand today
Far beyond the faith where I am placed
And if weakness is a virtue
And an act of strength a pride
Then I am king (and misery's my empire)

You... you said you would be there
Always claimed you would see me
Never ever forget
Always try to forgive, always be understanding
If I was wrong you'd believe me
If days were hard you would ease them
Things would stay the same
We would never change
Always be who you are my friend

I dress in shame and guilt
With despair as my robe
Must save this abandoned ship
From the mist and the raging storms
If weakness is a virtue
And an act of strength a pride
Then I am king and misery's my empire

You... you said you would be there
Always claimed you would see me
Never ever forget
Always try to forgive, always be understanding
If I was wrong you'd believe me
If days were hard you would ease them
Things would stay the same
We would never change

And you... you said you would be there
Always claimed you would see me
Never ever forget
Always try to forgive, always be understanding
If I was wrong you'd believe me
If days were hard you would ease them
Things would stay the same
We would never change
'Cause you... you said you would be there
Always claimed you would see me
Never ever forget
Always try to forgive and be understanding
If I was wrong you'd believe me
If days were hard you would ease them
Things would stay the same
We would never change 'cause you...
