Lyrics
Crimes
These crimes between us keep growing darker everyday
There?s no point in coming back down this way
The path is overgrown with weeds and lies
I had to take my own way home
Pre-Chorus
You see this world through different eyes than me
You hold on to your pride, thinking then I?ll see
Chorus
But all your pain, you carry on and burden me
And all your hate, you bring with you and bury me
And all your grief, you hold on to instead of me
Instead of me
I would have held back the world for you
I saw your pain and knew what you had to do
But still you deny - and cause destruction
That has shaken me inside from the violence of it
Pre-Chorus
You see this world through different eyes than me
You hold on to your pride, thinking then I?ll see
Chorus
But all your pain, you carry on and burden me
And all your hate, you bring with you and bury me
And all your grief, you hold on to instead of me
Instead of me
So now I must go to carry on my own light
I?ve been in this heavy place longer than I?d like
These crimes between us keep growing darker everyday
I have to take my own way home
Pre-Chorus
You see this world through different eyes than me
You hold on to your pride, thinking then I?ll see
Chorus
But all your pain, you carry on and burden me
And all your hate, you bring with you and bury me
And all your grief, you hold on to instead of me
Instead of me
