Your Own Sweet Way
Lyrics
You cannot give me something you do not understand
You cannot save me with something that flows not from your hands
I’ve been uncertain, unyielding, waiting for the day
When I could stand up as my own man and have righteous words to say
You’ve been filling in the blanks
In your one-sided magazine
That left me bulletless against
Snipers I could never see
Let me go so I can help you
Let me go so I can stay
You want your own sweet way
Let me go so you can find me for yourself
Let me go before I leave you
To find your own sweet way
It’s always been my demons standing in our way
Well I’ve been facing them with a silver sword that loves
To slay
I’ve seen disturbing things in the fight, in the fray
Yeah, screaming about mine
Yours turned to giants while you were pointing my way
I let you come down on me
To your own detriment
So I will try to pull you from the fire
But I need your consent
Let me go so I can help you
Let me go so I can stay
You want your own sweet way
Let me go so you can find me for yourself
Let me go before I leave you
To find your own sweet way
I let you come down on me
To your own detriment
So I will try to pull you from the fire
But I need your consent
You want your own sweet way
You want your own sweet way, oh
