Acacia Ridge - Malevolence Lyrics

Tell my brother that I'm sorry
I know you tried to find your way
And I know that you regret the way you lied
Made me promise not to burn you
At the stake where you belong
And I know you thought of me each time you cried
Tell my brother that I'm grateful
And I swear it's not your fault
I appreciate the preview of my flaws
Came to terms with all my demons
And I know your heart was right
And I'm sorry for the pain I that must cause

I know I'm desperate for control
I need to face that on my own
Please understand that there's a consequence
I don't rely on empty words
I don't deny how much this hurts
Please understand that there's a consequence to your malevolence

Tell my brother that the purpose of his lies have found their mark
And I'm scared I've gotten lost along the way
Still you speak when you have nothing left to say

I know I'm desperate for control
I need to face that on my own
Please understand that there's a consequence
I don't rely on empty words
I don't deny how much this hurts
Please understand that there's a consequence
To your malevolence
Your malevolence

(Tell my brother)
(I'm so sorry)
(I need to face that on my own)
(I don't deny how much this hurts)
(Tell my brother)
(That there's a consequence)
(I know I'm desperate for control)
(Tell my brother)

Tell my brother that I'm sorry
I didn't want you to get hurt
But I hope you feel the guilt begin to burn

I know I'm desperate for control
I need to face that on my own
Please understand that there's a consequence
I don't rely on empty words
I don't deny how much this hurts
Please understand that there's a consequence
To your malevolence
Your malevolence
