You cannot give me something you do not understand
You cannot save me with something that flows not from your hands
I've been uncertain, unyielding, waiting for the day
When I could stand up as my own man and have righteous words to say
You've been filling in the blanks
In your one-sided magazine
That left me bulletless against
Snipers I could never see
Let me go so I can help you
Let me go so I can stay
You want your own sweet way
Let me go so you can find me for yourself
Let me go before I leave you
To find your own sweet way
It's always been my demons standing in our way
Well I've been facing them with a silver sword that loves
To slay
I've seen disturbing things in the fight, in the fray
Yeah, screaming about mine
Yours turned to giants while you were pointing my way
I let you come down on me
To your own detriment
So I will try to pull you from the fire
But I need your consent
Let me go so I can help you
Let me go so I can stay
You want your own sweet way
Let me go so you can find me for yourself
Let me go before I leave you
To find your own sweet way
I let you come down on me
To your own detriment
So I will try to pull you from the fire
But I need your consent
You want your own sweet way
You want your own sweet way, oh
