Wilted Flower - Wounds Lyrics

Hanging on by a shoestring, no longer afraid of the dark or death
I know I must face him
I try to focus less on what I've lost, and more on what I've gained
But it always goes full circle
Refrain on last line
To gain is to lose, in the end

Wounds to the body heal, but show that you've seen pain
Wounds to the heart remain and are harder to explain
The rose from the tint in my glasses has wilted, frayed
And I wish it had died sooner so I could've seen you fade
Long before you walked away

I'll write until I die
A death by your side
I hope that there's no afterlife
I'll write until I die
A death by your side
I hope that there's no afterlife
Because I don't want to see what I left behind
Because I don't want to see what I left behind

Wounds to the body heal, but show that you've seen pain
Wounds to the heart remain and are harder to explain
The rose from the tint in my glasses has wilted, frayed
And I wish it had died sooner so I could've seen you fade
Long before you walked away

I'm so broken over what has and hasn't been
The darkest days, all colour stripped from the cracked walls within
I wear my heart on my sleeve and everyone takes a piece
I wear my heart on my sleeve so go on take a piece
