I check the mail but now your name don't pop up
Change the locks and throw away reminders that you're gone
Puff your cheeks out, it's been weeks now, but you're free now
You can be how you wanna be now
If I stay in one place, will you know who I am?
I'm the only one left with a broken right hand you know
Forget the afterglow
Will you care who I was when I rot in the ground?
Will you dig me back out if my head was in sand?
You know, it's where you need to go
We pretended how it ended, with a handshake "Oh, that's splendid"
Was everything we'd ever wanted
Nice to see you, all we've been through, and you've still not aged a day
And still you bit the hand that fed you
If I stay in one place, will you know who I am?
I'm the only one left with a broken right hand you know
Forget the afterglow
Will you care who I was when I rot in the ground?
Will you dig me back out if my head was in sand?
You know, it's where you need to go
If I had a pound for every time
I said I want you out my life
Then maybe you'd stay
If all that glitters is gold, you're gleaming now
If all that's bitter is cold, I'm freezing now
If your bark's your bite, I'm bleeding out
If I stay in one place, will you know who I am?
I'm the only one left with a broken right hand you know
Forget the afterglow
Will you care who I was when I rot in the ground?
Will you dig me back out if my head was in sand?
You know, it's where you need to go
So I swear, I swear you need to go
