what took the heart so long to wake up
from living inside a lovers past
what took the mind so long to make up
that it was time for new photographs
i made a promise to myself
to stay well
that there’s certain faces i just can’t see
so i kissed you goodbye
i know that i must look like a liar
but that was the price to stay true to myself
and it’s hard to describe
but holding to you was fuel to the fire
now i’m out of h*ll i’ve broken the spell
what took the heart so long to break up
from holding on tight to a love gone bad
so many nights i used to wait up
hoping to find what i once had
so i made a promise to myself
to stay well
that there’s certain faces i just can’t see
so i kissed you goodbye
i know that i must look like a liar
but that was the price to stay true to myself
and it’s hard to describe
but holding to you was fuel to the fire
now i’m out of h*ll i’ve broken the spell
