If You Go

by Cauterize

on So Far From Real (2003)

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)

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 the last thing that I said was I had nothing to say.
Now I'm choking on my words,
All the things 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 lie to me and deceive me like you did?
And 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)

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)

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.

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?

How do the scars feel after the wounds heal?
Did it burn when they cauterized?
(Repeat to fade)
