simon said

Home and faith
Something that all led to you
And it only comes down to you

You and me
Were free to go as we pleased
Until he came and ravaged your way of thinking
Home and faith went along with that, now

I rested my eyes
Now, you have a new life
I barely even said goodbye
Before I caught you in another lie
Till death do us part
But you purposely shredded us apart
'Cause Simon said
All hell breaks loose
When you try to call a truce

Ill at ease
In my own home
But you want to please
A man who ruined what that means
Tell me, is he home to you when he crept up in your mind
Shredding what you displayed on signs?
You know, blood doesn't equal respect

I rested my eyes
Now, you have a new life
I barely even said goodbye
Before I caught you in another lie
Till death do us part
But you purposely shredded us apart
'Cause Simon said
All hell breaks loose
When you try to call a truce

So, if Simon said, "Run away now"
Would you even take a bow?
And, if Simon said, "don't look back now"
Would you even consider turning back?
For me, for us, or did you not even count to three
Before you went and left me?
I know that Simon said, "They're no good for you"
But, I promise, I would if I could
Without Simon saying who we get to be
Without Simon shielding you from me

Oh, he's shielding you from me
From me

I rested my eyes
Tell me, how's your new life?
I wonder if I said goodbye
Would that've changed your lie
Or did Simon say, "Not tonight"
