"Vindicated" lyrics

"Vindicated"
(originally by Dashboard Confessional)

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow-spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye and roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated, I am

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So turn up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my fingertips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in too deep now
To ever swim against the current

So let me slip away
Let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me swim against the current
Let me slip away
Let me slip away
Let me slip away

Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along and I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow-spinning redemption
