Bring me that day my anger will be forgotten like the rain
It comes down and falls apart and blows away
Reconciliation in my heart and in my chest
All you wanted from me were these twelve strange words
"I trust you, I'll keep you, no matter what they say"
It's hard to do that
All I wanted from you was a glimmer of truth,
Not deception and conflict and pain you cause my friends
A swollen head, a broken heart, a swollen head
Maybe it's all I need, and I should come over and out of this darkness
But I've been deceived, to think I could be ever so candid around you
And I lost my head in confusion, its all this illusion
With a broken heart
Bring me that day your folly will be forgotten like the waves
The crash and break and flow the other way
Sincere motivation in your heart and in your chest
A swollen head, a broken heart, a swollen head
Maybe it's all I need, and I should come over and out of this darkness
But I've been deceived, to think I could be ever so candid around you
And I lost my head in confusion, its all this illusion
With a broken heart
