I begged

I begged you to listen
For years I spent on my knees
I'd been truthful the entire time
You refused, preferring ignorance
And now we're in this place
Of pure shadow and doubt
 How can we ever escape
I offered my surrender
I offered my keys and to leave
But you refused
By refusing to choose
It would've been a way
Just to figure it out
I take the blame
But only my share
While to your own shame
You welcomed defeat
And now we've found ourselves
Here
Instead of there
Trapped in the web
You wove with your deceit
