Lyrics
I picked apart my open sores
I analyzed my emotional wounds
Wounds and flesh like open doors
Injuries and vulnerability are like opportunities for entry
This emptiness felt like home
This feeling of emptiness seems familiar and comfortable
With tongue and cheek you made it worse
Your sarcastic remarks worsened the situation
Thought we'd stumble on your words
Expected a stumble in your speech
Your eagerness stole the show
Your enthusiasm became the main focus
Oh mercy me, I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be
Expressing acceptance of the current situation
Now watch it slip away, as you leave
Anticipating a loss as you depart
Oh mercy me I was wondering if you'd like to see
Wondering if you want to witness me giving up everything
Me throw it all away, I let you leave
Choosing to let go and allowing you to leave
Push and pulled to fill the void
Being pushed and pulled to fill a void
Wrapped my head in quiet noise
Immersing oneself in a silent environment
The sound remains as you go
The impact persists even as you depart
We watched you twist at every turn
Observing your struggles at every twist of the situation
Reinvent the lessons learned
Reinventing the lessons already learned
Just know the ache starts out slow
Acknowledging that the pain starts gradually
Oh mercy me, I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be
Reiterating acceptance of the present circumstance
Now watch it slip away, as you leave
Expecting a gradual loss as you walk away
Oh mercy me I was wondering if you'd like to see
Questioning if you would like to witness me giving up everything
Me throw it all away, I let you leave
Choosing to let go and allowing you to leave
I should have known, (What) You've always been
Realization that you should have been aware
Oh mercy me, I'm exactly where I'm suppose to be
Reaffirming acceptance of the current situation
Now watch it slip away, as you leave
Anticipating a gradual loss as you depart
Oh mercy me I was wondering if you'd like to see
Questioning if you would like to witness me giving up everything
Me throw it all away, I let you leave
Choosing to let go and allowing you to leave
