Infelicity
I should go I’ll go If I knew what was right
I should just go I’d go If I could do that too
Just write a letter And go If I could sacrifice my heart
Say goodbye Then go If I could see the outcome
See you later Just go If I was strong enough
Tell you I love you Right now go If I was brave enough
Scream out my misery I could go If I was wise enough
Cry out my broken heart I will go If I wasn’t afraid
Wail across the sky my love I want to go If I wasn’t in love
I should just go right now I won’t go If I wasn’t haunted
I should go before its too late I can’t go If I wasn’t
already lost
I should go before I cannot I need to go If I wouldn’t fade away
I should tell you nothing I have to go If I wouldn’t fall apart
I should whisper nothing of this I must go If I wouldn’t hurt you too
Bite my tongue I should go If I wouldn’t scream forever
Forget my dreams I’d go If I could escape in sleep
Smile and laugh my lie I’ll go If I could hide in dream
Joke with you for a smile I’ll just go If I could sing again later
I should go before I see you again I go If I could love again later
I should just go Go If I could remember how
Because I cannot bear it Go If I was better than I am
The knowledge of another inside you GO!! If I was anything at all
I should go I’ll go away If I was a kinder man
Before I really die I’ll go and fall If I was a promise
I should go I’ll go today! If I were someone alone
I should I’ll go Tonight!! If I were someone whole
Shouldn’t I go I’ll go right now!!! If I were a warrior
I will leave you now
And linger no more on the fringes of your life
If I am anything at all like you believe me to be
I will call you and wish you well,
Wish you all the happiness I want for you
If I am a shadow of the song you see me as
I will just run silent
And let you go like fate meant for us to be
Before you really knew me too
If I am a warrior, if I am, if I were . . .
I would lay down my soul and walk away
But,
I am not a warrior
How can I be . . ?
