Severed as an album is based around a couple of relationships that didn’t work out for Nocando: Hellfyre Club and everyone involved, and his marriage. This opener is about the gradual collapse of Nocando’s marriage.
[Intro]
L'amour, c'est pas compliquée
La vie, c'est pas compliquée
Les jeunes sont compliquée
Qui entendant des choses compliqué
[Verse 1]
It's all my fault
And I'm not being sarcastic
Love's supposed to give off a pulse
I'm not sure if our's still has it
You got baggage and I got baggage
Plus I built up these bad habits
You'rer over it and I've had it
They said take another crack at it
Just put the pussy on the pedestal
Put the corazones in a casket
The relationship therapist, pretending they preach the shit that they practice
It's madness
Stay together for the children
Force fit your feelings
Don't forfeit
Just fix it
Decisions, decisions
[Chorus]
I guess we did not know the roles that we're made to play
(Made to play)
You expected a white knight to ride through and save the day
(Save the day)
I have my own black cloud I think that's safe to say
(I hurtin' enough)
Who knew the world we lived in would begin to fade to grey
(Fade to grey)
We were polarized
Drifting and tethered
Please don't apologize
The string was severed
[Verse 2]
It's all my fault
I'm not being sarcastic
Love's supposed to give off a pulse
I can't feel ours' dammit
I got this one friend in Paris
Being treated for cancer
It ruined her first marriage
She don't act like she got all the answers
She said 'never judge your lover
Give 'em comfort and understanding'
I said 'well what happens if you can't then'
She said 'well sometimes that happens'
We both started laughing
I felt hopeless and tried to hide it
Inside of whiskey and women
We got even more divided
[Chorus]
I guess we did not know the roles that we're made to play
(Made to play)
You expected a white knight to ride through and save the day
(Save the day)
I have my own black cloud I think that's safe to say
(I hurtin' enough)
Who knew the world we lived in would begin to fade to grey
(Fade to grey)
We were polarized
Drifting and tethered
Please don't apologize
The string was severed
X2
[Outro]
We were polarized
Drifting and tethered
Please don't apologize
The string was severed
