  • As I recall when my stomach turned
    And I was hiding away from myself
    Away from you
    Like nothing but something was terribly wrong
    And I admit that I was only waiting for the right time (right time)
    Right moment for you to look away
    Though you never did I pretended for a while
    So I could walk where I don't belong

    I remember every word you said
    Come back in time come back
    And I remember I was too beaten
    Pitiful so pitiful

    But I know as they hammered those nails
    Into your beautiful hands
    Your eyes they tried to search for mine
    But I look away
    Now your eyes are the only thing that can save me
    I'm still afraid of them piercin'
    You break into my prison
    Just pretended for a while
    My soul is sad and I walk away

    I remember every word you said
    Come back in time come back
    And I remember I was too beaten
    Pitiful so pitiful

    Pitiful
    Pitiful
    Pitiful
    Pitiful
    So pitiful

    And I remember every word you said
    But this time I won't look away
    And I remember every word you said
    And this time I won't look away

    And I remember every word you said
    Come back in time come back
    And I remember I was so beaten
    Pitiful so pitiful

    And I remember every word you said (pitiful)
    Come back in time come back (pitiful)
    And I remember I was too beaten (pitiful)
