Lyrics

26 YEARS
26 years and I remember
What you done to me
What you done to me
I only started to recover
With my dignity
And my liberty
And I don't really believe you
When you say you really care
I don't remember giving you the permission
To rip my heart out with a stare
Why should I care
Why should I care
Someone must have really hurt you now
To act like such a cow
To me
Was there someone not around
Was there someone
Absentee

And I don't really believe you
When you say you really care
I don't remember giving you the permission
To rip my heart out with a stare
Why should I care
Why should I care
Just whispered thoughts and I remember
What you meant to me
What you should have been
Convoluted hopes and remedies
Give it back to me
Give it back to me

And I don't really believe you
When you say you really care
I don't remember giving you the permission
To rip my heart out with a stare
Why should I care
Why should I care
