If you leave me now
Make sure you don’t come back
Close the door
On your way out
Of my shaky falling house
Walk away
From the place we made a home
And my mangled
Tormented
Body built for two

The roses turned the water red
And so I did as well
Cold weather
Reached my bones
And told me to let go
So I forgot to hold on
And how to love

Warmth doesn’t settle in me now
No matter how long I walk
Through the desert
I will still be cold

The sun doesn’t shine here
Not in this place
She’s afraid of the clouds
And the angry wind
So she stays away
Just like you
My love
She also couldn’t bear
To watch the destruction unfold

Goodbye my darling
I’ll be fine
Just pushing down the daisies
That grew from my little muddy heart
For only you
I’ll let them wilt inside my soul
And forget that they ever lived at all.
