about

I wrote this song in 2017 after performing a ritual at a campfire, that involved letting a toxic person in my life finally GO. It was one of the most healing, empowering moments in my life. Sometimes, those who erk us the most can be great teachers.

lyrics

Lyrics~

I sat around the fire, under stars last night
The flames were a comfort, as the embers took flight
And one by one I threw them in, your letters, songs & poems
And I watched as your words went up, disappearing with the smoke

They say love is blind, and as far as I can tell
Nothing will last when you're drawing from an *empty* well
I trusted you without a doubt
Now I know only one way out
Just close the door, you don't have to shout,
'Cause I've gone away
I've gone away

You loaned me your shoulder, when I fell upon hard times
All I wanted was your friendship, but you tried to blur the lines
You were obsessed and self centered and always wanting more
And when I put my foot down, you'd have hurtful words in store

They say love is blind, and as far as I can tell
Nothing will last, when you're drawing from a *poisoned* well
I trusted you without a doubt
Now I know only one way out
Just close the door, you don't have to shout
'Cause I've gone away
I've gone away

*last chorus has *empty* well again.
