How long ago did I tell you it won't work anymore
When things got sad you wanted to bail
You backed out, you gave everything to help yourself
And even so you came back just in time to hurt me
How long did your kiss try to poison me
When it was clear this love had no love in the air
That shaky game of yours, trying to drown me
In trite lines that drift away in the air
I shook but I won't let myself be snuffed out
It's already clearer than the glass that hurt us
The crowd already knew and didn't warn me
With the strength of a tornado that wrecked
That tidy world of yours that soon dried up
But today I drink strength from all I am
I found the missing piece and it brought us down
I kept the keys to the past, I'm not there anymore
You can stay sitting there sighing
I shook but I won't let myself be snuffed out
I shook but I won't let myself be snuffed out
