so
i think i have to let it go
i think i have to bury the body and honor the ghost
cold
i keep one fire stoked at home
when it eats through the tinder, i sit and i miss the glow
i left my heart in God-Why-Bother
it was hardened, and green in color
i left it out to flower
to make tea from roots and petals
so
it's taken years, but now i know
when he spoke of different loves, he wasn't asking me to go
you know
i did best and took the blow
caught it next to my stomach, and let it stay and let it grow
i gave my love to Nevermind
smiled broad, and smiled wide
if you could see me now, i'm fine
red mouth and a weak gumline
i left my heart in God-Why-Bother
it was hardened, and green in color
i left it out to flower
to make tea from roots and petals
