"Backlash" lyrics

"Backlash"

I've called your phone
But no reply
It's getting old
You're getting by
I think I get the reason why
You're wasting both our lives

I'm not a stranger
To the danger
It's getting hard just to look in the mirror
Can't save ya
From yourself but
All the pain starts to feel so familiar

And the anger
Is overflowing
To the point that the hate takes over
Still I stay here, and entertain this
Turn a cheek, then forget how you blamed it

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say
(But I'm still jaded)

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say
('Cause I'm still hated)

And we share in the hope
That one day all the fear
Will live or let go
Don't you care?
Where things might go?
When you follow your heart down this road?

I'm not a stranger
To the danger
It's getting hard just to look in the mirror
Can't save ya
From yourself but
All the pain starts to feel so familiar

And the anger
Is overflowing
To the point that the hate takes over
Still I stay here, and entertain this
Turn a cheek, then forget how you blamed it

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say
(But I'm still jaded)

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say
('Cause I'm still hated)

Well you say that you want the real me
I don't think you're ready for all the things that you'll see
And I'm not forgetting the smoke you had for me
I can't let you let me give up on what's been my dream

But I'm finally getting tired
Sick and tired
Of being the one you always blame
Liar
You're a liar
I may just always be estranged

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say
(But I'm still jaded)

Enough with the games that you play
You been throwin dirt on my name

Now you got nothin but shame
Now you got nothin to say
('Cause I'm still hated)

Well you say that you want the real me
I don't think you're ready for all the things that you'll see
And I'm not forgetting the smoke you had for me
I can't let you let me give up on what's been my dream
