Scarlet

Brooke Fraser

Middle of nowhere

Finally you can breathe

Nobody knows your name

It's easier



Shut your eyes tightly

Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed

Cautiously, lightly

Gently expose what's underneath



And all you feel now

Is the scarlet in the day

Even if it's real

You can't stay...



So, there you go

You're gone for good

So, there you go

You're gone for good



Your mind is swollen

From months of thought without release

They've taken their toll on you

This very moment

Of timid and fragile honesty

Is precious and rare and fleeting



And all you feel now

Is the scarlet in the day

Even if it's real

You can't stay...



So, there you go

You're gone for good

So, there you go

You're gone for good



There you go

You're gone for good

There you go

You're gone for good
