Parting Gift

Always turning out for the worst
You were always my most consistent curse
And I hope this gets you kind of heated
Or stings a little if you even read it
Bringing everyone down, you left this house feeling empty
But it’s better than feeling like it’s burning to the ground

[Chorus]
I can’t live with you around anymore
You’re blocking out the sound outside my door
And I found more

I can’t remember all the times that I almost had bruised eyes for being on your side
And now I hope that someone gets to ya
And if I'm there I'll pretend I never knew ya
See you around, you were alright back when we were young
But you don’t compare to anything that I've found

[Chorus]

I wrote you down a letter before I went to sleep
It had all the secrets I could no longer keep
I held them in for so long I was going to break
But maybe now I can rest and you will lay awake
