"SHIVER" lyrics

Walked down by the river
While we eat our store-bought dinner
You talked about how much you wanna go home
I'm afraid to tell you
That I think that I should leave you
In fear of making a fool of myself to change my mind later on

I left you for a reason
And you crawled back just to leave me
While I grew and grew, and broke and bent through it all
And Mighty Lord's been watching my steps
To make sure I don't slip back into
Another sorry stage of being abandoned

'Cause there's only one more route I'll take
And that's the one where I finally wake up
And cut off everything I have from everyone
Finally had to let you go
And leave you to what only you know is good for you
Till you finally see that it's not

Now I know I can't just wait on something that's not on its way
Eventually, I'll have to move on
Like the dead trees in December, like the frostbite as I shiver
All of you has left me cold as I've ever been
I just want you out my skin
You killed me once, and I'd let you again

I thought that I could numb this pain
Why can't I just step away?
Baby, you were damaging me from the start
I cut off all my bitterness
And every part of you I've got left
But some things will never truly go away

Now I know I can't just wait on something that's not on its way
Eventually, I'll have to move on
Like the dead trees in December, like the frostbite as I shiver
All of you has left me cold as I've ever been
I just want you out my skin
You killed me once, and I'd let you, I'd let you again
