Lyrics

Parting Gift

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.

Always turning out for the worst,

you were always my most consistent curse.

Now I hope this gets you kind of heated,

or stings a little if you even read it.

Bringing everyone down, you left this house feeling empty,

but it's better then feeling like it's burning to the ground.

I can't live with you around anymore.

You're blocking out the sound outside my door.

And I found more.

I can't remember all the times that

I almost had bruised eyes for being on your side.

Now I hope that someone gets to ya,

and if I'm there I'll pretend I never knew ya.

See you around,

you were alright back when we were young,

but you don't compare to anything that I've found.

I can't remember all the times that

I almost had bruised eyes for being on your side.

Now I hope that someone gets to ya,

and if I'm there I'll pretend I never knew ya.

See you around,

you were alright back when we were young,

but you don't compare to anything that I've found.

I wrote you down a letter before I went to sleep,

it had all the secrets I could no longer keep,

I held them in for so long I was going to break

but maybe now I can rest and you will lay awake.
