Swallowing thorns
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.
Did we agree to give up and turn away?
Can you really throw everything away now?
My heart hurts like it's been cut
My chest feels numb
If I trim all my love from you
Will you be happier?
I hope it's not.
If it's that simple to end, it can't possibly hurt this much.
Why did you leave me? You can't go away.
You love me.
You know how much more sad it is to wake up alone in the morning,
rather than to sleep alone at night.
Are you just scared to come back to me?
Was I really that bad to you?
Did you leave by mistake, judging me wrongly because of one small misunderstanding?
One year without you passed
And months pass on like the wind.
My too-long days hurt so much, like I'm swallowing thorns.
Why did you leave me? You can't go away.
You love me.
You know how much more sad it is to wake up alone in the morning,
rather than to sleep alone at night.
We must meet again - you can't leave.
You love me.
If I don't let go, then we're not over yet
