What took the heart so long to wake up
From living inside a lovers past
What took the mind so long to make up

That it was time for new photographs

I made a promise to myself

To stay well
That there's certain faces I just can't see


So I kissed you goodbye
I know that I must look like a liar
But that was the price to stay true to myself

And it's hard to describe
But holding to you was fuel to the fire
Now I'm out of hell I've broken the spell


What took the heart so long to break up
From holding on tight to a love gone bad

So many nights I used to wait up
Hoping to find what I once had


So I made a promise to myself
To stay well
That there's certain faces I just can't see


So I kissed you goodbye
I know that I must look like a liar

But that was the price to stay true to myself
And it's hard to describe
But holding to you was fuel to the fire

Now I'm out of hell I've broken the spell
