lyrics

SEVERANCE
------------------
If you want to walk away, go
But if you want to make me pay, grow up
For never will I thank you for the love you never gave to me
And never will I trust you if you go with make believe
Each time it invites you

If you want to speak the truth, call in
But if you need to see the proof, go within
‘It’s better to forgive them for the love they never gave’, you say
But your soul is in the doorway singing:
‘I just want to stay destroyed and in turmoil’

Tell me something I don’t already know
I know you want to believe
They take you somewhere you don’t want to go
You just don’t want to say goodbye
I tell you nothing you don’t already know
They tell you what to believe
It gets you nowhere going with the flow
I just don’t want to see you cry
Why...?

If you want to walk my way, come
‘Cos I would love to bring this day some hope
For it’s better to have loved than let the tyrants and disease take hold
They had you running down the stairway singing: ‘I don’t want to be involved.’
When you were…

You don’t get nowhere going with the flow
You just get washed out to sea
You end up frozen, lost and all alone
I just don’t want to feel you die

Tell me something I don’t already know
I know you’re made to believe
They take you somewhere you don’t want to go
You just don’t want to say goodbye
I tell you nothing you don’t already know
They tell you what to believe
It gets you nowhere going with the flow
I just don’t want to see you cry
Why...?
