lyrics

All the trouble you’ve seen, all the pain that you have – “could have it been prevented?” you ask
It’s a question that keeps you from sleeping, it’s a story that you always replay
You watch for that pivotal moment when everything changed

It leaves a bad taste in your mouth – you try and try but it won’t come out
It casts a shadow of a doubt – parasite, parasite
It weighs heavy on your chest – well for the weary there is no rest
You only did your best – parasite

You feel you know what everyone’s thinking – well maybe you don’t have that right
Everyone here knows you fought with all your might
How you ache for things to be different – baby I’m so sorry they’re not
If I knew how to accept it, I’d talk

It leaves a bad taste in your mouth – you try and try but it won’t come out
It casts a shadow of a doubt – parasite, parasite
It weighs heavy on your heart – what would you do if you could restart?
You only played your part – parasite

Baby only you know what you saw
Baby only you will recall the thoughts so awful
Baby only you know the throes of your sorrow

It leaves a bad taste in your mouth – you try and try but it won’t come out
It casts a shadow of a doubt – parasite, parasite
It weighs heavy on your chest – well for the weary there is no rest

You only did your best – parasite, parasite
You only did your best, parasite
