Written in the winter of 2015, the song is about the struggles of letting go.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Fade in right back from a memory
I never get to stay
To reminisce and find some hidden detail
An excuse to relive that day
When my mattress rested on the floor
It never bothered you
I’m calling to the angels in the sky
Or anyone willing to listen
Chorus:
Is there any reason left to rhyme?
Out of all that hurts so much it’s still your name that cuts so deeply up and down my spine
I can’t break away
Like an addict my tongues palate still stained with the taste you left when you ran away
Verse 2:
365 long days in a year
Not one of them has been spent without your name ringing in my ear
I never learned to see things through
And I’m sorry for my emptiness and how quickly I drained you too
I didn’t set out to cause you pain
I wanted nothing more than what you once had promised me
To ease me in the dead
In the dead of night and help me break away from these lies
I needed you to be my guide
I needed your light to warm how cold I am inside
Chorus:
Is there any reason left to rhyme?
Out of all that hurts so much it’s still your name that cuts so deeply up and down my spine
I can’t break away
Like an addict my tongues palate still stained with the taste you left when you ran away
Bridge:
When you ran away
You ran away
Leaving what we had
And what could be
When You Ran away
You ran away
It couldn’t be my fault I needed you here with me
Here with me
But all you needed was a getaway
you little run away
You’re all the same
Verse 3:
Holding onto all these shattered pieces
Broken glass from the night before
Squeeze the feeling back into my hand
The Bleeding Will Not Stop Lenore
Your sword can’t write
But my pen it sure can slice
I’m calling you out on all your lies
You broke all that once glistened
Chorus:
Is there any reason left to rhyme?
Out of all that hurts so much it’s still your name that cuts so deeply up and down my spine
I can’t break away
Like an addict my tongues palate still stained with the taste you left when you ran away
You ran away
When you ran away
You ran away
I’m an addict my tongues palate still is stained with the taste you left when you ran away
