You walked away, not like fire but like a flood
With everything still standing but rotten and buried in the mud
I did the work of getting rid of what needed to be gone
After four quiet years, I hear your voice on the phone
Chorus:
After high water and four quiet years
I think I'm just gonna let you slip away
Not much has been easy not even with you not around
The "what could've been different" sleepless, madness of doubt
Am I so unforgiving I can't reach out some other way
Sometimes I almost forget I was nothing but a p*** in your game
Chorus
I don't think of you often, I wish I hadn't every time that I do
You dug me out 'til I was empty when you just could've told me the truth
I hope that you're happy just as long as you stay away from me
It hurt bad when you left 'til I remembered I'd been set free
Chorus
With everything still standing but rotten and buried in the mud
I did the work of getting rid of what needed to be gone
After four quiet years, I hear your voice on the phone
Chorus:
After high water and four quiet years
I think I'm just gonna let you slip away
Not much has been easy not even with you not around
The "what could've been different" sleepless, madness of doubt
Am I so unforgiving I can't reach out some other way
Sometimes I almost forget I was nothing but a p*** in your game
Chorus
I don't think of you often, I wish I hadn't every time that I do
You dug me out 'til I was empty when you just could've told me the truth
I hope that you're happy just as long as you stay away from me
It hurt bad when you left 'til I remembered I'd been set free
Chorus
