High Regard (acoustic) | The Story So Far

“Barter and trade, always passive aggressive.
In spite of who you say you are.
Smother my name under soil and dirt,
In the earth, widen the distance apart.
Fuck an apology, I’m not sorry for anything.
I’ve been holding back my apathy for far too long,
You don’t deserve what you haven’t earned,
And your place in my heart has just grown so small.

I’d like to think that you’re worth my time,
But you embody everything that I hate.
Take a good hard look at what you see,
I’ve lost all my hope and all my faith.
Cus when I barely fuck up, you just recoil and weep.
What do you want from me, I’m just a kid who got into deep.
My walls are built up high forever bound to be steep.
I got a bird’s eye view of all the secrets you keep.

Try to tell me that you knew from the start.
That I would come to know that most would never enter my heart.
Because I’m colder than the others, it’s what sets me apart.
You manipulate and try to shine your light on my dark.
But this is my life, you should bounce and never call again.
No more strife, go find it in the souls of other men.
You know you’re not as smart as you look.
I’m gonna take back what you took.

And you didn’t know shit from the start.”

This song is everything I think and feel so often, and FUCK it’s so great acoustic.
