Treatment

Yesterday, I said good-bye for the very last time

And now today, I’m looking at the scattered pieces of my life

Picking up the shards to start putting them back together

Because I meant the words I said

And I meant those tears I cried

The plans that I smashed against a wall

This life of ours I turned my back on

Yesterday, I took my key back and locked the door

And now today, I open the windows to let in the sunshine

Breathing in the fresh air that enters with you now gone

Because I meant the words I said

And I meant those tears I cried

The plans that I smashed against a wall

This life of ours I turned my back on

Yesterday, I erased your messages and blocked your number

And now today, I pack up the last of your boxes to send over

Cleaning up every last part of you that remains here

Because I meant the words I said

And I meant those tears I cried

The plans that I smashed against a wall

This life of ours I turned my back on

Yesterday, I lit the incense to burn your scent away

And now today, I light some candles to enjoy their warm glow

Watching the flames as they dance across my memories

Because I meant the words I said

And I meant those tears I cried

The plans that I smashed against a wall

This life of ours I turned my back on

Yesterday, I cut your cancer right out of me

Now today, I’ve finally stitched myself back together

Creating something new and stronger and wiser

Because I meant the words I said

And I meant those tears I cried

The plans that I smashed against a wall

This life of ours I turned my back on
