Stem the Flow

I don't think you ever loved me And I have to believe that now 'Cause otherwise I'll look for love like yours In every place around The love that flows like blood does That I'll search for through the years You speak through gritted teeth Saying, "My darling, I'm right here" And it is not my fault, it's something I was learning I only feel at home now, in a home when it is burning After gathering this knowledge I have to face the truth, that you never loved me But I tried so hard to love you And I want you to try So that I can thank you for trying And then maybe that'll make you try some more In the whites of your eyes I can see they know of your crimes But confession won't slip willingly past your lips Until you're on death's door It's not in my nature to forgive bad behaviour Except when it's yours And what makes me go crazy I can never slam the door If you walked in right now With a new lie then I'd be yours You've always got a foot in You've always got a start And the fact you never take that chance It fucking breaks my heart And now I'm unforgiving My mother doesn't understand I wasn't born an angry child But I became an angry man And I want you to try So that I can thank you for trying And then maybe that'll make you try some more I can't stem the flow and God only knows Where you hide your stash of broken glass As the red pours It's not in my nature, it's not in my nature Oh, oh Forgiveness was never my strong suit But neither was giving up on you Forgiveness was never my strong suit And I want you to try So that I can thank you for trying And then maybe that'll make you try some more I can't stem the flow and God only knows Where you hide your stash of broken glass As the red pours I want you to try So that I can thank you for trying And then maybe that'll make you try some more I can't stem the flow and God only knows It's not in my nature to forgive bad behaviour Especially yours
