"Stem The Flow" lyrics

I don't think you ever loved me
And I have to believe that now
'Cause otherwise I'll look for love like yours
In every place around
A love that flows like blood does
That I'll search for through the years
You speak through gritted teeth
Saying, "My darling, I'm right here"

And it is not my fault
It's something I was learning
I only feel at home now
In a home when it is burning
After gathering this knowledge
I have to face the truth
That you never loved me
But I tried so hard to love you

And I want you to try
So that I can thank you for trying
And then maybe
That'll make you try some more
In the whites of your eyes
I can see they know of your crimes
But confession won't slip
Willingly past your lips
Until you're on death's door

It's not in my nature
To forgive bad behaviour
Except when it's yours

And what makes me go crazy
I can never slam the door
If you walked in right now
With a new lie
Then I'd be yours
You've always got a foot in
You've always got a start
And the fact you never take that chance
It fucking breaks my heart
And now I'm unforgiving
My mother doesn't understand
I wasn't born an angry child
But I became an angry man

And I want you to try
So that I can thank you for trying
And then maybe
That'll make you try some more
I can't stem the flow
And God only knows
Where you hide your stash
Of broken glass
As the red pours

It's not in my nature
It's not in my nature

Forgiveness was never my strong suit
But neither was giving up on you
Forgiveness was never my strong suit
But neither was giving up on you

And I want you to try
So that I can thank you for trying
And then maybe
That'll make you try some more
I can't stem the flow
And God only knows
Where you hide your stash
Of broken glass
As the red pours

I want you to try
So that I can thank you for trying
And then maybe
That'll make you try some more
I can't stem the flow
And God only knows
It's not in my nature
To forgive bad behaviour
Especially yours
