Slaves
I stumble past your figure
 recalling history
 you weren't the best of all
 but good enough for me
 I didn't want to hurt you
 or inflict a sort of pain
 but I didn't do much good 
 pushing you into the rain
 and it was there that you found
 MY friends 
 your own new release
 it was there that you found her
 and brought me to my knees
 i didn't miss you 
 i still don't
 but now that i know your plans
 I'm praying to God you won't
 
 because (Chorus)
 Every time I see you
 I give the same reply
 but looking in your eyes
 makes me wanna cry
 i can't look at you
 not the same
 without taking on
 her only name
 you've lost your old young purity
 you cant be seen the same by me
 you're dirty, gross, and vile
 I only wish that I could smile
 but knowing you have sold yourself
 you deserve spit upon your wealth
 lying, cheating 
 why no truth?
 if both were smart
 they'd get the boot
 true love doesn't lay in sex
 true love isn't from a bed
 it's in your heart 
 not in your head
 (end of chorus)
 
 I can't help but think
 maybe if i had stayed
 you wouldn't have turned out this way
 I'd do so many things to save your virginity
 just about anything you'd ask of me
 but I'm procrastinating 
 pleading you not to go
 because what I'm trying to tell you
 I'm not supposed to know
 I'm not supposed to know a lot of things 
 but then again
 that's why my necks held by a chain
 because of lies and truths and life 
 taken in vain
 
 but all i can think about is that (chorus)
 
 now there's a clacking 
 when i walk down the hall 
 I'm passing you and her
 trying to forget it all
 as i know too much
 i know more than i should
 if it hadn't been for you
 i wouldn't know more than i would
 but i do
 and i can't forget
 i'm begging you
 don't make this new regret
 I'm telling you 
 it'll be over before you know
 you're too precious to let yourself
 be bought and sold
 
 don't let yourself go 
 like a slave
 this isn't your time
 you've got years to wait
 i know that you don't love her
 and she doesn't love you
 so why break yourself
 when you know it's not the truth?
 why break yourself
 in the middle of your youth?
 I'm crying this hard! 
 because there's nothing i can do
 to save you
 save you
 save you
 goodbye
