Circa Survive

Scratched out a note I wrote for you
to wake and read
to know that I was there once
I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you
of my return
But all the paper said when I was done is
ââ?¬Ë?do you still want me?ââ?¬â?¢
because Iââ?¬â?¢d be terrified if I had to leave this place today
We havenââ?¬â?¢t saved the baby

As I said
my darling
spring is constantly calling me
and thereââ?¬â?¢s no place that Iââ?¬â?¢d rather be

I wonââ?¬â?¢t be angry
if you have to leave,
but I wonââ?¬â?¢t be waiting
for that day
So donââ?¬â?¢t say youââ?¬â?¢re sorry because
I wonââ?¬â?¢t believe you

Didnââ?¬â?¢t see a sticker on the door when we walked in
but I know itââ?¬â?¢s going to cost us
the same amount of love it takes to get you through
but it never moves you
Iââ?¬â?¢d be terrified if I had to leave this place today
Itââ?¬â?¢s where I threw my love away
Then we saw a different side of ââ?¬Å?Annieââ?¬ nobody saw
She tried to kill the baby

and the earth and its skin will open up
and birth out a perfect mirror
that makes all our reflections clear

I wonââ?¬â?¢t be angry
if you have to leave,
but I wonââ?¬â?¢t be waiting
for that day
So donââ?¬â?¢t say youââ?¬â?¢re sorry because
I wonââ?¬â?¢t believe you
