Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional

Hope, dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption

Winding in and winding out

The shine of it has caught my eye

Roped me in so mesmorizing

And so hypnotizing

I am captivated

I am...



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..



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 turn up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my finger tips

Trace the moment, fall forever

Defence is paper thin

Just one touch and I'd be in too deep down

to ever swim against the current



So let me slip away, so let me slip away

So let me slip away, so let me slip against the current

So let me slip away, so let me slip away

So let me slip away, so let me slip away



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



Like hope, dangles on a string

Like slow spinning redemption
