It's been eight long years, now you're leavin'
Your last goodbye I won't forget
But you hear your words are self deceivin'
Your voice is empty of regret
That ain't no way to say you're sorry
Don't blame the fools that you misled
At least pretend to see why I'm so angry
With my eyes wide open
I been buried left for dead
Left for dead
For so many years I been believin'
This land I called my home was blessed
But you broke my heart and left me grievin'
And left the damage unaddressed
That ain't no way to say you're sorry
Don't blame the fools that you misled
At least pretend to see why I'm so angry
With my eyes wide open
I been buried left for dead
So much darkness
It may be years before it's gone
Were you truly heartless
Or simply self-deluded
When you concluded
Nothing's wrong
Nothing's wrong
It's been eight long years
I'm glad your leavin'
You've washed your hands
And left a mess
But there's hope in every breath I'm breathin'
Where it comes from, take a guess
Although you never said your sorry
Although you claimed you did your best
Maybe history and time will treat you kindly
But with eyes wide open
I clearly didn't fail the test
And if you ever say your sorry
In some big book before you die
I hope you know how much I won't be sorry
'Cause it's plain to me
That your apology
Is one I'm never gonna buy
Never gonna buy
Ain't no Way
I
