Leave It All Behind

LETRA

Leave It All Behind

I’ve kept it bottled up inside
This pain … unforgivng
The imperfection is much too shy
To dominate me, control me
I see it’s much too late

I bitch from head to toe about this sweet embrace
And how it faltered
The wickedness that followed as the ‘we’ turned ‘I’
Finally overflowed

Taking the time to call out the tears
Waiting for it to fall, all the years
Pushing for me to leave it all behind
Forcing me to believe I’ll never find

Painting over your name in blood
To set the permanence free
Though I cut the scars to mask the scars you left behind
It still lingers

Taking the time to call out the tears
Waiting for it to fall, all the years
Pushing for me to leave it all behind
Forcing me to believe I’ll never find
