Lyrics
Well you pulled me in like the dry red dirt
Drinking the rain pools
and you spit me out like a bitter fruit
Making your tongue burn
I've been in and out of your no fly zone
Too many times now
My heart's been tied to a yo yo string
But I'm biting the cord that's making me sting
Chorus:
And it feels good to lose you
It feels so good to cover my tracks
I sweep you out like footprints
In a garden of sand
Let go of your hand
It feels good to lose you
I'm not afraid to break promises made
and it feels good to lose you
So I do
I'll untangle myself from the web you wove
Erase the scripting
I will trash the words, the letters sent and
Release you
In the morning hours your dirty sheets will
Serve to remind you
Of the love we made, the bitter truth
The half baked lie of being used
Repeat Chorus
