O'Keeffe (It's Better This Way)

from Where Once There Was Something by Sumner Park

/

lyrics

She sits alone, screaming in silence,
At all the promises best left unkept.
It's better this way, she tells herself,
Drowning her demons, she cleans off her shelves,
Empty to empty, she packed up and left,
No turning back.

She minces words, dying inside her,
At all the questions best left unasked.
She feels so much pain, but she hides it well,
Thinking in circles, her circle of hell,
Keeps getting smaller than it was yesterday.

'Maybe I'm not coming home,
It's better this way,' she tells herself,
Convincing herself more than anyone.
'Maybe, I'm not coming home,
To you or to anyone else.'

Pick up the phone, I know you can hear me,
You leave all my letters unread.
I dreamt of you fading, there dead in my arms,
Begging for answers, and covered in scars,
I'd help you to find them, I wish you'd have said.

'Maybe I'm not coming home,
It's better this way,' she tells herself,
Convincing herself more than anyone.
'Maybe, I'm not coming home,
To you or to anyone else.'

I want to see you.
I want to hear you.
(Hear that you're doing just fine.)
I want to feel you.
I want you. I want you.

Maybe I'm not coming home,
'It's better this way,' I tell myself,
Convincing myself more than anyone else.
'Maybe, I'm not coming home,
To you, or to anyone else.'
