And there she was, like she's been a thousand times before
So open, as though just waiting for me to fall back in her
From there I only know she would smother me once more
Not understanding signals I give for her to let me breathe
She smiles at me and it enters my heart like a hot knife
She tells me about the family she has inherited, it twists
I've no desire to go back to that place, the bridge is burned
But it never fails to surprise me how long the pain lingers on
So open, as though just waiting for me to fall back in her
From there I only know she would smother me once more
Not understanding signals I give for her to let me breathe
She smiles at me and it enters my heart like a hot knife
She tells me about the family she has inherited, it twists
I've no desire to go back to that place, the bridge is burned
But it never fails to surprise me how long the pain lingers on
