Maybe the pain will heal my soul;
Cleanse me, make me whole.
Or maybe it'll drive it deeper,
'Til I'm no longer my mind's own keeper.
All I have to do is ignore it and it all stops,
Right until I forget to turn the locks.
It all escapes and floods my head;
Can't eat to live, can't lie down dead.
Save me from myself today:
Make me stay happy, keep them all at bay.
All the horrid visions of greener grass;
They'll lure me away if you don't hold fast.
I'll try to stay and be content:
I just hope all my love hasn't already been spent.
