We're standing here
on a pile of stones
and I know this wasn't the Palace
but it was my home

Most of the people
that it once had are gone
And I've been thinking of going back
but I know I won't

Oh God forgive me
for what I'm about to say
Oh God forgive me

Do you remember when we first started?
When everything that we wanted, we got it?
Oh I remember it all
Let me explain it if you don't understand it
this isn't going the way that we planned it
and it's not my fault

Oh God forgive me
for what I'm about to say
Oh God forgive me

You were a weight on my neck
and you were bringing me down
I need to get this off my chest
so I need to scream it out
Whoa ohh
Are you better off now?
Whoa ohh
Are you better off now?

Ohh this fire on my tongue
it's getting in my lungs
and it's sealing my breath
I know I shouldn't have gone off
and I know it's not your fault
Oh please, forgive me

Weren't you a weight on my neck?
and weren't you bringing me down?
I need to get this off my chest
so I need to scream it out
Whoa ohh
Am I better off now?
Whoa ohh
Am I better off now?
