Closure Lyrics

There's a ring on the finger of a love I couldn't shake

And I'm just sorry that it wasn't me

I was reading her old blog and waxing nostalgic

And I stumbled on a photo that I shouldn't have seen

I don't remember much of how it ended

Just woke up with carvings on my legs

That started years of mourning and penance

Where back to normal only felt recently

Yet somehow my heart's not on the floor

In pieces like for years I feared it would

And maybe that's the passing of time

Or I've just gotten really good at bottling hurt

There's a ring on the finger of a love I couldn't shake

Now I never want to go back to Tennessee

'Cause there's a one in seven million chance I'll run into her

That's the best I could think of to stay unhappy

'Cause truth is I've been hoarding excuses for too long

And in that time I found those pieces I thought she took

And now the time feels right, more than ever

To wish her well and move on

There's a ring on the finger of a love I couldn't shake

And maybe that's the closure I need

No new scars on my legs this time

Maybe that's how it feels to be more self reliant

Or maybe all of that naïve hope I held onto

Is starting to loosen its grip on me

I hope that this is the last song I'll ever write for her
