The need to leave

By your words you wounded my soul
Creating a hole that was long ago whole
There is no solution, no redemption 
Ignoring temptation, I’ll choose separation 

I want to take my distance
Despite my heart’s hard resistance 
To be freed of this deed, it’s a need 
You’re a weed I have to get rid of to succeed

But if you come back and talk to me
I fear I won’t have the strength to flee
I’ll beg you to never insist
‘Cause I’ll never be able to resist
