Spare me your kind words, It's nothing I haven't heard
The way I used to think, got me what I deserved
I'll do it on my own, built this throne out of bones
To overlook a grave that no one visits anymore
Savor each moment because time is permanent
Before it's too late to call it off and you only have regrets
If you wanted sympathy, we all wanted it once
Empathy's reserved for the ones who showed it first
It's gotten out of hand (Don't know where to begin)
If my start is just my ending (Should I jump right off a cliff)
Or should I change my train of thought? (Showing them all up)
Could I just be the leader of my own one man parade?
Kneel down at that grave, someone I couldn't save
Wipe away the moss, but still couldn't read your name
I swore I'd never go, but I can't stay for a ghost
I know it isn't much but I'll leave you with this rose
Savor each moment, you don't know how long you get
When it's too late to see their face, you start to miss the arguments
If you wanted sympathy, you won't get it from me
Empathy's reserved for the ones that showed it first
I guess I'll keep on walking, like I've never known a home
Let the ghosts of those I've loved, follow if they want
I hope I see your face and that I can say your name
I know you're all behind me in my One Man Parade
Savor each moment you don't know how long you get
When it's too late too see their face, you start to miss the arguments
If you wanted sympathy, you won't get it from me
Empathy's reserved for the people just like her
