Ain't No Way

Ain’t No Way

It's been eight long years, now you're leaving
Your last goodbye I won't forget
Can’t you hear your words are self-deceiving
Your voice is empty of regret

Chorus

That ain't no way to say your 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’ve been buried left for dead

For so many years I’ve been believing
This land I call my home was blessed
But you broke my heart and left me grieving
And left the damage unaddressed

Chorus

That ain't no way to say your 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’ve been buried left for dead

So much darkness
It may be years before it’s gone
Were you truly heartless
Or simply self diluted
When you concluded nothings wrong

It's been eight long years, I’m glad you're leaving
You’ve washed your hands and left a mess
But there’s hope in every breath I’m breathing
Where’d it come from take a guess





Chorus

Although you never said you’re your sorry
Although you claimed you did your best
Maybe history in time will treat you kindly
But with eyes wide open
I clearly see who failed the test

And if you ever say you’re sorry
In some big book before you die
I hope you’ll know how much I won’t be sorry
‘cos it’s plain to me
That your apology
Is one I know I’ll never buy
Ain’t No Way
