Call this a compromise Between my hands and my eyes My gaze and my grasp will both be denied If I'm to survive Make no records of the words I give you Just empty shouts from an empty mouth My histories bound to be scoured If it can be tracked down Vengeance ain't what I'm after There's no score to settle when you've wrong yourself Vengeance ain't what I want Just keep my name off your tongue while we're both still young We've come to terms of endearment With the prospect of our names Being forgotten let the record state That i saw this coming all along
Vengeance ain't what I'm after There's no score to settle when you've wrong yourself Vengeance ain't what I want Just keep my name off your tongue while we're both still young And if you say you have no regrets Then your apologies are meaningless To put you out of my misery I'll dismantle the past and sift through the memories Of when I locked lips with loaded words And snatched the pride from your lusting eyes Love just isn't made hHow it used to be No blushing bride by my side Just dead weight on my arms Vengeance is all I have
