crying does not make you less of a man

Vindicated
By: Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out

The shine of it has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, and so hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am

[chorus]
Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong

I am right
I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along

And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed

The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isolated, so motivated
I am certain now that I am

[chorus]

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]

So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away [4x]

[chorus]

Slight hope
Dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption

*yes... we are selfish.... and yes... we are ALWAYS wrong...*
