I wish I could find the strength to leave you behind
But your ever-present effervescence is leaving me blind
To your cruelty
You've made a fool of me
Are you happy now
That I'm gone?
When the sun shines
On your empty broken shrine
Think on what you left to rot
What I gave and never got
Are you glad now
That I moved on?
Did you think I'd let you so easily forget
The way you tossed me down toward loveless regret
And left me to suffer in your heavy silence
Or shove me into wretched abidance
Are you sad now
That I'm not coming back?
I don't have the words to say how I feel
But I hope you never heal
From the scars, you gave to me
Because you never left me be
Are you mad now
That I finally gave up on you?
