Trial and Error
Unveiling the Chains of Deception in 'Trial and Error'
Lyrics
You wanted me to surrender
You wanted me to give up
And let you take me over
To allow you to control me
And drag me to the hole you dug for me
To lead me into a troublesome situation of your making
Now I can see what I left behind
Now I understand what I abandoned
And I can't take back the wasted
And I cannot reverse the time I spent trying to please you
Time I spent of pleasing you
Time dedicated to making you happy
It seemed to me that's all I'd do
It seemed that pleasing you was my sole purpose
I wanted you to see
I wished for you to understand
That I can't be what you wanted me to be
That I cannot conform to your expectations
I'll never let you alter
I will never allow you to change
Who I am within
Who I am at my core
I wanted you to see
I desired for you to realize
That you won't get what you wanted out of me
You won't achieve your desires with me
If I could do it over
If I could go back in time
We never would have been
We would have never been together
You followed suit like they all do
You imitated others like everyone does
And now I know the real you
And now I understand your true self
Funny how I'm drawn to misery
Ironically, I'm attracted to pain and suffering
You would create to tear apart
You would create chaos to destroy
Through time I found your beating
Through time, I discovered your heart wasn't meant for a relationship
Heart was never made for two

So tell me what was I to you
So tell me, what was my role in your life?
I wanted you to see
I hoped for you to realize
That I can't be what you wanted me to be
I cannot conform to your expectations
I'll never let you alter
I will not allow you to change my essence
Who I am within
(No specific content in this line)
I wanted you to see
I wished for you to understand
That you won't get what you wanted out of me
You won't achieve your desires with me
If I could do it over
If I could go back in time
We never would have been
We would have never been together
We never would have been
-I won't look back in anguish this time
I won't dwell on past pain this time
'Cause I'm better off
Because I am better off without you
Without you here
(No specific content in this line)
No I won't
No, I won't
No I won't
-Think of you as I'm leaving you behind
I won't think of you as I leave you behind
And I hope that the next guy
I wish for the next person to hurt you more than you hurt me
Tears your soul out worse than you did mine
(No specific content in this line)
'Cause I've seen the way you love
Because I have witnessed the way you love
And I've seen it long enough
And I've observed it for a sufficient duration
