Lyrics

Description

I built a world for myself,

Years of careful grief,

A fence of words and careful smiles,

A ghost I couldn’t leave.

I painted my sorrow gold,

Dressed my ache in lace,

Called it patient, like love of the old,

Pretending it was grace.

I waited pretty in daylight’s hold,

Waited softer than was wise,

Swore no blame, swore I never would,

Kept the kindness in my eyes.

Told myself I wasn’t bitter,

That my heart stayed kind and clean,

But every word I wrote of you

Left an ache where none had seen.

I made a home of echoes,

Sweet and strange and thin,

Turned my silence into poetry,

And called the madness kin.

But tonight,

Tonight it’s not the same show —

I’ll watch it burn in a soft, slow glow,

And be happier than you’d ever know.

I burn it, yes —

Every letter, every vow,

The man I shaped to hold you

Gracefully breaking now.

I’m not waiting anymore,

Not for you, not for peace I say,

But I’ll still smile when your shadow passes,

And it’ll hurt in some quiet, unremarkable way.

I was never waiting pretty,

But you’d never have known.

I waited dressed in poetry,

In a house of my own bones.

I don’t blame you.

Wouldn’t wear right if I did.

But god, I almost wish I could.

And mercy knows what that would’ve been.
