Lyrics
Artery
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're in and out of my trust as if it's something you got for free
There's a crack in us and I just cannot give you love if you don't see
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather have no one to call than to crawl right back to you
And even though it hurts to leave you this message
I can't be the one to clean up your messes
Goodbye to your lies
To this heartache
There’s only so much I can take
I open up this artery and cut it up so I can breathe
Or else there will be nothing left of me
You asked me to give you time
You say you’re trying but it's hard to believe
You just build me up to break with all those promises you made but you don't keep
I'd rather be lonely
I'd rather be blue
I'd rather have no one to call than to crawl right back to you
And even though it hurts to leave you this message
I can't be the one to clean up your messes
Goodbye to your lies
To this heartache
There's only so much I can take
I open up this artery and cut it up so I can breathe
Or else there will be nothing left of me
