Can you feel the chill between us?
Cold and stark emotions drained
Love is gone, what came between us?
How’d we come to this much pain?

Will you notice when I am gone?
And if you do, for just how long?
It’s just that now you hardly see me
Standing bloodied by your cutting words

It’s not like I didn’t try for you
It’s not like I didn’t die for you
But when the hurting turned so hard and cruel
What else was I to do?

When I’m gone will you really be free?
Am I the root of all your pain?
Inside your heart is there some inner beauty
Bound by hatreds corrupting chains

It’s not like I didn’t try for you
It’s not like I didn’t die for you
But when the hurting turned so hard and cruel
What else was I to do?

All the luck, true love I wish you
As I hide away to lick my wounds
We simply had too many issues
Guess my leaving can’t come too soon

It’s not like I didn’t try for you
It’s not like I didn’t die for you
But when the hurting turned so hard and cruel
What else was I to do?
But go away

When love goes wrong only the pieces of a broken heart remain
