Benevolent Sin - Genesis

{intro}
This was never a story about a boy

{chorus}
Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Break of dawn
Sing a mourning song
Don’t stop always
Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone

Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Break of dawn
Sing a mourning song
Don’t stop always
Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone

{verse 1}
I’m not the boy that you cheated on
But got the same broken heart
Got the same broken heart
Worlds apart
But i guess it’s best that you’ve been gone
But i still can’t restart
No i still can’t restart
I can’t stand the way that we fall apart
Cherishing the work of art that is your body
I can’t see the things you aren’t
No
I just see an angel
From every different angle
But you’ve got a hateful halo
You and i were never stable

{bridge}
Constant negativity
Where i used to be
Getting outta that place now
I can’t see the centerpiece
Don’t know what is me
But i’m gonna find that out
I’m so numb to sympathy
You ain’t getting me
Finally i let that shout
Tired of closing my mouth
I’m tired of closing my mouth

{pre-chorus}
Now i still ain’t made it but i made it somewhere so much better
The man i used to be ain’t here
He’s gone forever
Colby’s dead and gone
Thought we’d see my funeral before i dropped this album or this song
Guess i’m glad that i was wrong

{chorus}
I’m still wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Break of dawn
Sing a mourning song
Don’t stop always
Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone

Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Break of dawn
Sing a mourning song
Don’t stop always
Wandering on
Fighting right and wrong
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone

{bridge}
Colby’s dead and gone
Colby’s dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone
Dead and gone

{verse 2}
Say so long
To the man in the frame
Still it’s long live stevesaintjames
Bearing this pain
We are not one and the same
Can i really escape while he rots in my brain?
I don’t know
I can’t back what i claim
But i cannot go back where i came from
Still don’t even know my name
I still don’t know my name
And she feels just the same
And she won’t change her ways
And she’s been gone for days
She said she needed space
But i can’t turn away
I’m begging her to stay
Don’t know what else to say
I just can’t catch a break
Each promise is erased
I guess we’re parting ways

{refrain}
When i locked eyes with that mysterious lady
I couldn’t keep my gaze away from her
She’s driving me crazy
I really thought that this could work but things are changing up lately
I’m realizing all your flaws and how you lied to me daily
So now i’m saying bye to that mysterious lady
We had some fun while it lasted but you’re nothing but pain to me
Because everything we built together all was just make believe
I can’t wait to make something of my own
