Hold onto the things you said
Now engraved into my mind
Cut so deep like hollow bone
Deception carved in like stone
I used to think back on times we shared
Now those memories seem so scarce
When i close my eyes, i think of you
And how it rips me in two
As I teach myself a way out
Expecting you to grip my hand and pull me through
I'm sorry I expect so much
I'm sorry I longed for your touch
For now I know my way to push
To see the sun scream at my face
I let it burn burn burn burn inside of me
I'm sorry I'm free
(I'm sorry I set myself free)
As you burn away i wonder if you knew
As you burn away i pray that you see
I feel it tear my green away
I feel it touch and disintegrate
I wont let you drain my hue away
