Nothing Left to Burn

I will allow myself my justifications
for leaving you and walking out that door darling
at this point I owe you no explanation
and unlike time and time before I won’t be back again
I know I swore to you if I made it through
then there’d never come a day I regret you
But you’re in my past at last the day has come that I do
 
Whenever you touched me, you set my body aflame
While my soul was extinguished and I was lost in the game
I betrayed myself, I broke my own laws
Then watched the flowers you gave me burn in the vase
I’m wilting lover, when I’m naked in your arms
and still you show me no concern
The carnations are ashes now, and so am I
There’s nothing left to burn
 
I know you cut me down whenever I wasn’t around
I know you proof read and edited the story
Baby I even know how you twisted it to make it sound
Then you cried to me again and again how you were sorry
You said your love for me couldn’t have been made clearer
I think the only real love in your life
is the love you love in front of a mirror
 
Whenever you touched me, you set my body aflame
While my soul was extinguished and I was lost in the game
I betrayed myself, I broke my own laws
Then watched the flowers you gave me burn in the vase
I’m weeping lover, when I’m naked in your arms
and still you show me no concern
The carnations are ashes now, and so am I
There’s nothing left to burn
 
All those late nights when the fights were escalating
My 3 AM introspections and 5 AM contemplating
Every fight felt like the exact same one
I’m through with it now, I’m through it, I’m done
My heart kept telling me to leave you behind
Because there’s someone who can love me that I have to find
So now I’m just ready to say goodbye and let you go
Because if I’m going to listen to my heart then my heart needs to be followed
Whenever you touched me, you set my body aflame
While my soul was extinguished and I was lost in the game
I betrayed myself, I broke my own laws
Then watched the flowers you gave me burn in the vase
I’m wilting lover, when I’m naked in your arms
and still you show me no concern
The carnations are ashes now, and so am I
There’s nothing left to burn
 
There’s nothing left to burn
There’s nothing left of me to burn.
