While in my head
My broken heart bled
For the glory
Of what I swore you said
I want the chance to make a mistake
If a magician does a trick
And you are not amazed
Was it even magic?
And if a doctor heals my soul
And I don't grow from my pain
Would that life be tragic?
I don't even know what mistake I made
If a conductor draws the sound
Sends vibrations through the crowd
Would you say he made the music?
The conductor takes a bow
Drops his knees to the ground
Saying, "What you're gonna do, do it."
I did not see the way
But I said I would stay
It was the least I could do
To pay what I thought I owed you
I'm gonna make you love me
To stay afraid you might leave
Calling trauma "love"
Is a strong, strong drug
I made my bed
Following the thread
Of the story
Of what more you might say
