I know, I know we were open but her scent lingered on you like devastation
And I had some greater realizations of my own
I didn't know how broken I would feel without your touch
Didn't I give you that good, good rush?
Good good rush
Good rush
Each time we kissed goodbye I felt the flood of you subside
No longer was I bird locked in your cage
I was ready to set my wings and fly
You let go of me like a tree sheds its leaves
Like a rose we withered and the pain crashed all around me
I was broken for days
I was broken in ways I could never explain
I was broken in your pain
Broken in your pain
You changed my life, you taught me to bleed
Lick my wounds and begin again
Now I'm gonna race towards the light
I'm gonna race towards the peace
I wanted you at the finish line
But you, you won't see
Me rise from these ashes
I'm gonna rise from all this hidden shame
Fill up this empty cup
And cheers to you pain
