For My Sake Lyrics
Shinedown
Lyrics
I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I'm missing those days again
Yeah I'm missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine should be taking the blame
Cause it's raining on me again
Yeah it's raining on me again
A paradox, the key you dropped
A manifest for what you lost was me
For my sake please
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Quit making a scene
Enough's enough
Let's be honest
Your promise was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on
I'm calling 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 something that's poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you weren't 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 leaving that all behind
And there's nothing gonna change my mind
A paradox, the key you dropped
A manifest for what you lost was me
For my sake please
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Quit making a scene
Enough's enough
Let's be honest
Your promise was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on
I'm calling 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
A paradox, the key you dropped
A manifest for what you lost was me
For my sake please
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough's enough
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Quit making a scene
Enough's enough
Let's be honest
Your promise was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on
I'm calling you out
There's nothing left for us here now
Let's be honest
I promise I'm never lookin' back
For my sake
I'm never lookin' back
For my sake
For my sake
For my sake
