Beginning With Release

Beginning With Release

Second chances only create

even more seconds to wait.

Everyone starts over, turns a new leaf,

but you're weak, and even the weight

proves much too heavy for a pest like yourself,

especially when you're already burdened

with a chip on your shoulder

that cuts as deep as her treachery

[Chorus]

And this release,

it's not going to be the end for me.

Our tug of war taught me

resilience and a few more things

I was only armed for battle, you see,

But I didn't lose because I'm not lost

And you have to be strong to keep holding on,

but it takes strength of mind, to know when to release.

You've been saving all your pennies just to flip the coin.

Well, head's up, high roller,

all you're going to see is tails as you watch me leave.

I never was your Lady Luck,

and I'm fucking done being your second best.

No need to worry about me;

I'll bounce back from this with ease

What a shame you won't be so lucky

Cause you're not going up, and you're not going down…

You'll just waver back and forth,

still impossible to please.

Cause you're not going up, and you're sure as fuck not going down…

You'll just waver back and forth,

still impossible to please.

[Chorus]

And this release,

it's not going to be the end for me.

Our tug of war taught me

resilience and a few more things.

I was only armed for battle, you see,

But I didn't lose because I'm not lost

And you have to be strong to keep holding on,

but it takes strength of mind, to know when to release.

[2x]

You say, but we've only just begun.

And I say, our beginning is done.

You never should have left,

No, you never should have come.
