"Thanks" lyrics

"Thanks"

You've been here
When I was everywhere
Shackled by the system
Damaged by the damned
A sacrificial lamb

You've been the rock
Drowning in my sorrow
Stuck inside myself
My ego never helped
My sugar coated truth

I can't show gratitude enough
You always pick me up
And I was under covered by

My restless tone
But never alone
Even though I didn't
Want to show you
How I love you

I've been wrong
Misguided
Made mistakes
Been sick and frightened
Oh, what a waste

You never asked me for a thing
You just sit back and wait
'Til my eyes see through the gray

And sing that song
Been there all along
Patient and loving
Overlooking
My foolish showings

Thanks
Thanks
Thanks
