sacredRAGE

though you were a stranger
wanted to call you my friend
wanted to be your lover
didn’t know that was the end

if you knew that was goodbye
why'd you have to lie
oh why'd you have to lie

if you knew that’d be the last
why did you call me back
just for that
oh just for that

couldn’t tell me to my face
when all I asked for was the truth
then you left without a trace
not even a trail to sleuth

no goodbye
no sorry
no I’m leaving town
it was I’ll call you in a few days
been months without a sound

[Chorus]
then erika erika
was all you said
like if you said it twice
you could convince my head
that you didn’t just break a woman who’d offered her heart

and erika erika
was all you wrote
like if you wrote it twice
you'd ease the lump in my throat
and make me believe that you had actually cared


you left me no closure
no apology
just left me guessing
with my heart upon my sleeve

it’s still broken
still breaking
doesn’t want to let you go
thought my fantasy was reality
the ten of cups of the tarot

but I have to go
I can’t hold back
i put so much love in
and never got it back

wish you weren’t a stranger
wish you weren’t unknown
but you leave me no choice
I’ve got dreams of my own

feels like a death
are you ready yet
time to move on
i think I wrote enough songs

so this is goodbye
this is I’m letting you go
to the best of my ability
my heart is telling me so

[chorus]
then erika erika
was all you said
like if you said it twice
you could convince my head
that you didn’t just break a woman who’d offered her heart

and erika erika
was all you wrote
like if you wrote it twice
it’d ease the lump in my throat
and make me believe that you had actually cared
