the principle Songtext
von Sean Eisel

You know I see it
Those guilty eyes
You stoke the flame, then
Apologize
We get to talking
You′re in denial
I'd never do that to you
I′d never cross that line

Call me crazy
(Say) My memory's hazy
But in that moment
I'm losing the patience
Say you′re sorry, maybe
But I′m not giving the grace that you deserve


Well, I'm sorry that I′m so critical
I'm so critical
It′s the principle of the things you do
You've made me miserable
I′m invisible
And it's the principle of the things you're doing

I′m wasting my time while you pack
Trying to find the good in your bad
And you
You′re walking away from the closure

I know you see it
I'm unimpressed
I say it′s okay
While I resent
My best friend said that
I'm in denial
You always did that to me
You never walked the line

Something′s crazy
Your memory's hazy
And in this moment
You′re losing good graces
You're not sorry, mainly
And you're not giving the grace that you require


Well, I′m sorry that I′m so critical
I'm so critical
It′s the principle of the things you do
You've made me miserable
I′m invisible
And it's the principle of the things you′re doing

I trusted you, you put me through it
I can't deny, I've thought it through, and
All of this time while I′ve been shrinking
Always wondered if I′m shrewd
You said I love you with hate on your lips
Tell me the truth, for once be honest
What did I do?
(What did I do?) You're my wasted time

I′m so critical
I'm so critical
It′s the principle of the things you do
You've made me miserable
I′m invisible
And it's the principle of the things you're doing

I′m wasting my time while you pack
Trying to find the good in your bad
And you
You′re walking away from the closure
