For My Sake Shinedown

I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I'm missin' those days again
Yeah, I'm missin' those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine
Should be takin' the blame
'Cause it's rainin' on me again
Yeah, it's rainin' on me again

A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost was me
For my sake, please

Stop slowin' me down, stop holdin' me up
We're makin' a scene, enough's enough
Let's be honest
Your promise was never meant to last
So I'm takin' you on, I'm callin' you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest, I promise I'm never lookin' back

For my sake
For my sake

Tell me somethin' that's poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you were like the rest
And I'll never ask you again
And I'll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I'm leavin' that all behind
And there's nothin' gonna change my mind

So I'm takin' you on, I'm callin' you out
There's nothing left for us here now

For my sake
I'm never lookin' back, for my sake (for my sake)
For my sake
