Metamorphosis Lyrics

I'm sorry that I don't return your calls

I'm sure you think that I don't care at all

I would tell you nothing is farther from the truth

But there are walls that you built and I should not undo

I'm sorry if cutting ties felt too cold

Just remember I'm the one who never let go

Before you judge me take a second while on hold

Consider what I had to do to purify my soul

That's not how this works

It's anything but simple

And I've learned

This is my metamorphosis

Instead of dying I built a chrysalis

So don't be surprised

If I come out the other side

Something more splendid than I was before the night

That you met me

Before you left me

Before I asked you if you would be my bride

So don't be surprised

Don't be surprised

It's probably right about the time for clarity

I've had months of intense introspective therapy

Looking back there's fissures and cracks I couldn't see

But now I see that all this time it had nothing to do with me

You made your choices I made mine

And now we have to live them

It's not theory it's real life

What we do is all we have

This is my metamorphosis

Instead of dying I built a chrysalis

So don't be surprised

If I come out the other side

Something more splendid than I was before the night

That you met me

Before you left me

Before I asked you if you would be my bride

So don't be surprised

If my willingness to die

Is the only thing that's keeping me alive

And all this time

I've been being nursed back to life

The tomb I crawled into was not a tomb at all

It was a chance for me to bloom where I was planted long ago

Amongst the ashes where saints have come and gone to die

And shortly after crawled out from the chambers where they lied

I'm just another vessel

Who's left the world behind
