Maybe You Should Get Out – Lyrics by Penny Blacks

“I’m sorry about the broken promises
none of those beautiful plans
started out as lies
I know I left the shards
in the home that was once ours

Maybe you should get out

Pick the shards
from the soles of your feet
leave the mess
for someone else to sweep

And you know I would’ve emptied that place
of anything sharp
and dulled the edges of whatever I could
to spare the damage to your heart

But I can’t bear another fight
And I could never take you on
even if I was right

What will happen
in the future
and can I live my life
according to fears
of empty twilight years?

And you know I would’ve emptied that place
of anything sharp
and dulled the edges of whatever I could
to spare the damage to your heart.”
