(vamp) verse 2: Fearing the force of the fall Clearing my name may take more than a phone call Wandering the void of my redemption Wishing for a miracle, reprieve, or exception Wondering when karma will catch up with me Floundering but facing the truth of my reality There aint no way that things could get darker And there aint no way I can pay all my markers There aint no way but to take to the road And I'm ready to burst and I'm fit to unload 'Cause betting on you won me the biggest debt that I've ever owed. verse 3: Turning my back on my history Turning my past into a mystery Bearing the burden of mistakes I've made Tearing the heart out of songs I've played Finding the faults in what I thought was true Filling up the spaces that I made for you 'Cause there ain't no place left now that I'd rather turn So I'll stand here and watch while my last memories burn And there ain't nothing left here that I need to say And I got one more lonely note left to play Cause love it or leave it, I'm over you I don't care if you believe it but I swear it's true Don't mourn it or grieve it 'cause I'm taking my leave of you today
