A link in our gold chain broken
By the diamond lies you told (means to an end)
A change in the smell of you
And a tint in your eyes were a means to an
End
Your pushing back
I saw it coming up to take a swing
But Mama, I bandaged the cracks
And prayed for God to hold my hand
But not even divinity can fill in what we lacked
Now I only pray you understand
(chorus)
I'm Pushing Back
And I don't wanna turn around
Until I know you've gone
(Pushing Back continued)
'cause I'm alive for the first time
And I'm d***ed if I'll be tempted down
Whatcha think you could rope in a hurricane
With the promise of a good thing
When he's already gone with the wind
What, are you thinking I'd sink for the lure
That you used to bring me in
Well it was a just a means to an end
(chorus)
I remember candles
I remember their scent
I remember angels
God knows where they went
By the diamond lies you told (means to an end)
A change in the smell of you
And a tint in your eyes were a means to an
End
Your pushing back
I saw it coming up to take a swing
But Mama, I bandaged the cracks
And prayed for God to hold my hand
But not even divinity can fill in what we lacked
Now I only pray you understand
(chorus)
I'm Pushing Back
And I don't wanna turn around
Until I know you've gone
(Pushing Back continued)
'cause I'm alive for the first time
And I'm d***ed if I'll be tempted down
Whatcha think you could rope in a hurricane
With the promise of a good thing
When he's already gone with the wind
What, are you thinking I'd sink for the lure
That you used to bring me in
Well it was a just a means to an end
(chorus)
I remember candles
I remember their scent
I remember angels
God knows where they went
