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
