Nesmith - MAD Lyrics

I was an altruistic soul
In search of happiness and peace
And patience and love
Some spiritual fruit
To nourish my body then lead me to you
But my altruistic heart
Was wrapped in confusion
Soon as I bore fruits
It took no time to lose them
So much riper than before
Black and rotten to the core
It's all because of you
Thinking of all that we had
Reminisce bout the good and the bad
Like when you said you'd stay
Then ran away
I should've known it from the start
Saw all the demons I had
Then left me before you went mad
And now I'm all alone
I should have known
That you were bound to break my heart
Since you left
Hole inside my chest
Lord knows I did my best
To act instead of hold my breath
You were the reason I lived
You were my virtue
I can't forgive myself
For knowing how I hurt you
I'm no Superman
I do the best I can
Smiling when the days don't go to plan
I hope you understand
I'm trying for you
What would you have me to do
Except turn into a stranger
Lonely and a danger
Thinking of all that we had
Reminisce bout the good and the bad
Like when you said you'd stay
Then ran away
I should've known it from the start
Saw all the demons I had
Then left me before you went mad
And now I'm all alone
I should have known
That you were bound to break my heart
Patience
Patience is key
Through passing clouds of tribulation
Stay a while for me
I know I ask too much
And you know I miss your touch
And I know you've given up
But it still eats me up from the inside
And I'm tripping over words like I'm tongue tied
My emotions flushing through me like a riptide
Thinking of all that we had
Reminisce bout the good and the bad
Like when you said you'd stay
Then ran away
I should've known it from the start
Saw all the demons I had
Then left me before you went mad
And now I'm all alone
I should have known
That you were bound to break my heart
