Erase Lyrics - Reinventing Your Exit

I know you'll never see this 

But it's not for you, it's for me 

I've been keeping myself together 

Ever since you made the choice to leave 

Now I can't say it was easy 

But it started to feel like the best part 

Nothing left to do but start over 

My only light has left me in the dark 

Your regrets, around your neck 

I can finally breathe since you left 

You'll never erase this 

You have so many faces 

But I know you live for the attention, don't mention my name 

You can't escape the past 

I'm the one who's laughing last 

See, you didn't take away the colors 

Out of the eyes of everyone I know 

Block out the sun, you couldn't manage 

Or pull me down in the undertow 

I wasn't too late to lose my pride 

This has been a work of heart 

You'll never move, or break the cycle 

So, what's another life ripped apart? 

Your regrets, around your neck 

I can finally breathe since you left 

You'll never erase this 

You have so many faces 

But I know you live for the attention, don't mention my name 

You can't escape the past 

I'm the one who's laughing last 

I hope that this gets hard to swallow 

That I'm leaving you far behind 

Let's just call it what it is, darling 

That we were blind to the caution signs 

I never knew the air could taste this sweet 

Never thought I'd find peace so easily 

Did the worst in me bring out the best in you? 

Your regrets, around your neck 

I can finally breathe since you left 

You'll never erase this 

You have so many faces 

But I know you live for the attention, don't mention my name 

You can't escape the past 

I'm the one who's laughing last
