If You Go

Cauterize

It's kinda sad that I
Have learned to deal with things like this
Being strong means being heartless
Tell me how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Did it show that you were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still shine as bright
As they did the days when you were at your best?
If you run away from me
I'm not running after you (cause I'm so tired)
If you turn away from this
Don't look back (cause I'll be gone)

CHORUS:
If you go then I'll forget you
When you're gone
I won't miss you
I'm sorry, that's just the way I've learned to deal with a broken heart
If you go then I'll forget you
When you're gone
I won't miss you
I'm sorry, that's just the way I've learned to deal with a broken heart
And broken promises

It's been a long time since I've seen you
And longer since we've talked
And that last thing that I said was
I had nothing to say
Now I'm choking on my words
All the thigns I didn't say that could have made it all ok
Now that you're all alone and feeling sorry for yourself
Did it make sense to like to me
And deceive me like you did?

Did you run away from me, I'm not running after you (cause I'm so tired)
If you turn away from this
Don't look back (cause I'll be gone)

Chorus (2x)

Tell me how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
Did it show that you were hiding the hurt inside?
Do your eyes still shine as bright
As they did the days when you were at your best?

Tell me how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized? (repeat to fade)
