Story Behind The Song
Somebody I thought I could count on gave up on me and was not there for me when I needed support, and when the person regretted it, they began to try to get my forgiveness.
Song Description
It's about feeling abandoned in a time when you need somebody most. Somebody I thought I could count on gave up on me and was not there for me when I needed support, and when the person regretted it, they began to try to get my forgiveness. I wanted the sound to be smooth and contemplative, not hurt, because it shows that at a certain point you realize somebody is not worth your pain.

Lyrics
i was wondering how long till/ you rang for my forgiveness/ sure enough, you/ begged me most flippantly/ cause your rocks at my windows were/ always pieces of sand/ wedging into my wounds i/ don't think you understand/ how deep they run/ where were you/ when i sank into the blue/ you weren't there/ and i will never forget that/ where were you/ when the complications grew/ you weren't there/ and i will never forget that/ when you ask me how could i/ let you go like this/ i'll ask you/ well how did you/ you've got some explaining to do/ when you ask me how could i/ let you go like this/ i turn to you/ you could right the book on this/ (chorus) / forgive and forget they say/ well i met defiance/ and he's giving me what you owe/ you may have felt like home/ but your walls are far too thin/ the price is too high for the room i'm/ staying in/ (chorus)
