A Favor

you don't feel it
while you're behind the wheel
can't forget it
watching reel to reel
in the hollow of your gut
lies the sadness breeding sin
'cause if she had to do it over
you would lose your pride again

(chorus)
but she did you a favor, baby
when she broke your heart
she slaughtered a demon
that would tear you apart
real love sometimes aint pretty
it hurts because it's strong
she did you a favor
when she packed and went home

it blends into your soul
surrounding who you are
making new decisions
aware of this new scar
bright stains of promises
painful dents of fear
whispers of renewal
much too soft to hear

(chorus)

close your eyes to this sickness
breathe it in; breathe it out
she could've played the game
you could've lived in doubt
in the dust of her departure
refuse to suffocate
you can call it mysterious
but don't call it fate
