I threw away all my dignity, I decided it wasn't worth a fight. Spent to long trying, praying that I'd get it right.
I took a match and caught that tree, that shaded marriage vows. Watched it go up in flames, and found the strength to walk away some how.
I bandage the wounds left from you, cut by that blade of poisoned lies. Took the knife out of my back, now I'm severing any ties.
I sewed my lips shut with straps of leather, that once belonged to you. I packed my bags and filled my pockets, in hopes of something new.
I carved Divorce into the wall, with the shattered shards of whats left of me. I took that blindfold off my eyes, so I now can clearly see.
