Cauterize
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.
It's kind of sad that I have learned to deal with things like this
Being strong means being heartless
Tell me how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Did it show that you were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still shine as bright as they did the days
When you were at your best?
Now that you're all alone and feeling sorry for yourself
Did it make sense to lie to me and deceive me like you did?
If you run away from me I'm not running after you ('Cause I'm so tired)
If you turn away from this don't look back ('Cause I'll be gone)
If you go I'll forget you
When you're gone I won't miss you
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal
With a broken heart
If you go I'll forget you
When you're gone I won't miss you
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal
With a broken heart and broken promises
It's been a long time since I've seen you
And longer since we've talked
And the last thing that I said was "I have nothing to say."
Now I'm choking on my words
All the things I didn't say that could of made it all okay
Now that you're all alone and feeling sorry for yourself
Did it make sense to lie to me and deceive me like you did?
If you run away from me I'm not running after you ('Cause I'm so tired)
If you turn away from this don't look back ('Cause I'll be gone)
If you go I'll forget you
When you're gone I won't miss you
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal
With a broken heart
If you go I'll forget you
When you're gone I won't miss you
I'm sorry that's just the way I've learned to deal
With a broken heart and broken promises
