No Matter What

vs. 1:

Don't look at me that way

With so much fear and pain

I told you that I'm sorry

What more do you want from me?

I hate this silent hostility

I hate the regret I feel

But most of all, I hate the way

You refuse to let this heal

Chorus:

Why can't you understand that I

Have nothing left to say

If you won't let this go than we

Will never be the same

And if you can't let us go on

And be the ones we are

Then I can't stay here beside you

Locked behind these bars..

No matter what.

vs. 2:

Don't cringe away that way

There's so much you portray

When you keep edging back

Like you just can't relax

I hate this open anger

I hate the mistrust in your eyes

But most of all, I hate the way

You've fallen into a disguise

Chorus:

Why can't you understand that I

Have nothing left to say

If you won't let this go than we

Will never be the same

And if you can't let us go on

And be the ones we are

Then I can't stay here beside you

Locked behind these bars..

No matter what.

Bridge:

There's something in the way you smile

That tells me it's not real

And something in the way you speak

That lets me know how you feel

I told you that I'm sorry

But for you, it's not enough

And I can't keep standing, waiting

For you to unlock these handcuffs

Chorus:

Why can't you understand that I

Have nothing left to say

If you won't let this go than we

Will never be the same

And if you can't let us go on

And be the ones we are

Then I can't stay here beside you

Locked behind these bars..

No matter what.
