Strung Out - Matchbook Lyrics

I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your voice
The signs are obvious that all we had has run its course
I don't mind giving up the upper hand in this little charade
Well I spent too many nights on the floor
Waiting for something inside you to change

Don't look back in anger now its all that you can see
'Cause angers all I got to keep me warm when your away
Well, I know that this is nothing new
But tonight it's all I know
Disconnect myself from your memory
I'll never feel anything at all
To justify with all your words
Don't mean anything to me
'Cause I've cut you off

I cut you off

So here we stand and face each other
We've got nothing to say
A flashback to another time
When silence was a welcome friend
And now I'm sorry I can never really say
All the things going on inside my head
Silence is a justified expression of my war
Now, nothing's like it was before

Don't look back in anger
Now it's all that you could say?
'Cause anger's all I got to keep me warm when you're away
And all your words
And all your actions don't mean anything to me
'Cause I've cut you off

Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger, it's just a memory

And I'm sorry I could never really say (don't look back in anger)
All the things going on inside my head (don't look back in anger)
Silence is a justified expression of my war now (don't look back in anger)
Nothing's like it was before (it's just a memory)

No, it's easy to forget your face
And it's easy to survive in this place without you
Without you
I just comb my hair and wash my face
Keep straight ahead and keep my pace
Don't think about nothing
And my days will be alright
Well I got my friends, got my pen
Got a million distractions to keep me warm
And I know that I'll be alright
And I'll be alright
