Crooked Hill - B.O.T.D. Lyrics

Benefit of the doubt
I won't cast you out
Guess I'll give you one last try

Benefit, benefit
I give you all to benefit
I give and you take but only for the hell of it
I lay wide awake my stomach never settling
My minds awake too and you don't know the half of it

My mind's racing, faster than it should be
We go back and forth, just like two trees
Blowing in the wind, without an end
You tell me you're my friend
But this is not how friends treat friends

You don't get it do ya
I don't seem to be nothing to ya
You know that I'm hurt
And you don't even care, do ya
For what it's worth
I know you've had it rough
But now I realize that enough is enough

This is not a rap
To talk about how I've made it
Matter of fact
My life is rough and I hate it
Ask for forgiveness 70 times
I give the benefit of the doubt every time yeah

Benefit of the doubt
I won't cast you out
Guess I'll give you one last try
Yeah
Benefit of the doubt
I won't cast you out
Guess I'll give you one last shot

It's kind of funny how
One day we're like best friends but the next day it's like it was all pretend
You had me fooled, yeah
So shame on you
But I fell for it too many times so shame on me too

If I'm honest, I guess I should've known
People in my life were all telling me no
But I guess I didn't care, I guess that's how it goes
If I could change the past, I would've listened though

You don't deserve it
You don't deserve how good I've been to ya
I sacrificed and bled and shed tears for ya
When will you get it through your head
You can't just use people and leave em for dead
You need to think ahead

When times got hard where were you
And when I needed a friend
I couldn't call on you
But when your life got rough
You made sure I was there, it wasn't fair
But I know you really don't care

Benefit of the doubt
I won't cast you out
Guess I'll give you one last try
Yeah
Benefit of the doubt
I won't cast you out
Guess I'll give you one last shot

Now I'm moving on
And people notice that I've changed
For the better
My mood just ain't the same
Who would've thought that
The one I thought I needed
Was actually the thing controlling me
Thank God i weeded, it out
The benefit of the doubt
Is no longer yours
I'm done handing it out
Yeah I'm finally sure
I'm on the right track
It was a matter of time
Before I took my life back

I gave you my trust
And I gave you my love
I should have known, better

I gave it all up
I showed you my love
I should have known, better

I'm taking my trust
And I'm putting walls up
I guess always known

I'm done giving my love
I'm putting walls up
Guess I've always known

Benefit of the doubt
I've gotta cast you out
I can't give you one last try
Yeah
Benefit of the doubt
I've gotta cast you out
I can't give you one last shot
Benefit of the doubt
I've gotta cast you out
I can't give you one last try
Benefit of the doubt
I've gotta cast you out
I can't give you one last shot
