Bitter Vows

Verse 1

Six long years

Burnt through every ounce of hope I held for us

Empty halls

Dust is settling on the frame of what we were

Six long years

Bitter betrayal bites at the marrow of my bones

Chorus

Now I am done

Now I am gone

Taking back the air you used to breathe

Letting go

Sinking slow

Into the quiet that follows the storm

The final sleep is calling me home

Post-Chorus

Falling down

Falling down

Going where you cannot find my soul

Verse 2

Loyalty lived here

You killed it with a nameless face in some cheap bed

Red eyes burning

Cold rain washing out the ink on our vows

Loyalty lived here

Left it lying dead beneath the kitchen tiles

Hard truths

Stabbing deep inside my hollow aching chest

Chorus

Now I am done

Now I am gone

Taking back the air you used to breathe

Letting go

Sinking slow

Into the quiet that follows the storm

The final sleep is calling me home

Post-Chorus

Falling down

Falling down

Going where you cannot find my soul

Bridge

Broken girl

Bitter girl

Bound to a man who didn't want the truth

The violin screams

The piano weeps

I have reached the ledge where nothing matters anymore

Wait for me

Watch for me

Fade into the gray until there is nothing left to see

Chorus

Now I am done

Now I am gone

Taking back the air you used to breathe

Letting go

Sinking slow

Into the quiet that follows the storm

The final sleep is calling me home

Post-Chorus

Falling down

Falling down

Going where you cannot find my soul

Outro

I was yours

Now I am no one

Silence

Finally silence

Six years gone

Goodbye
