Another Time Another Place
Embrace The Tide Lyrics

I stand alone
I am standing by myself

So no-one can hurt me
There is nobody around to hurt me

I keep my head held high
I am maintaining a positive attitude

My head held high
I am keeping my head up and not letting the situation bring me down

You'll never strike me down
You will never destroy me

And all I taste is the bitterness you left on my tongue
All I remember is the bitterness that you made me experience

I won't forgive and forget
I won't forgive you and pretend like it never happened

And I won't close my eyes to the truth
I won't ignore the truth or pretend like it's not there

And how can we live our lives
How are we supposed to continue living?

When there's no backbone inside?
When we lack the courage to stand up for ourselves?

And how can you say we even tried
How can you claim that we put forth effort?

Now I can't help but ask this
I can't help but wonder

So where do we go from here?
What should we do next?

When I can never trust a word that comes from you
I can't trust anything you say

And I know that I could never be that sure
I know that I cannot be confident

I've heard this a thousand times
I have heard this so many times before

And I'm so sick of hearing your confessions
I am tired of listening to you apologize

I can't believe
I am in disbelief

What you've done to me
What you have put me through

I look back
I think about the past

As your shadow watches over everything I do
As if your influence extends into my present life

I'm plagued with the memories
I am constantly reminded of the past

For everything you put me through
Because of what you made me experience

I never promised you the world
I never made grand promises to you

Instead you brought this on yourself
You are responsible for creating this situation

Another time
Maybe in another era

Another place
In another location

Save all your excuses
Do not bother with excuses

How dare you even speak my name
You have no right to mention my name

For I've been watching
Because I have been observing

For I've been watching over you
I have been keeping an eye on you

You make me sick 'til I can't breathe
You make me feel so emotionally overwhelmed that I cannot function

For how you act like it's nothing
Because you behave as though it is not important

You can't escape this
You cannot avoid this

You can't escape this hell!
You cannot avoid this terrible situation

You can't escape this
You cannot avoid this

You can't escape this!
You cannot avoid this!
