Overwrite - Miss Ivy

Say you must go

I will understand

There is no place like home

When it’s time to heal pain

I will let you go

But if you could only explain

Why am I in death row?

Am I the only one to blame?

Say you must go

And I will understand

But I will feel so alone

When you’ll be in your promised land

I shall make my footstone

And engrave how insane I am

Have I done something wrong?

Or do I never say anything right?

My one and only will be gone

And I just don’t know how to fight

It’s a mistake that I’ve done

I don’t want dishonour nor despite

But if I remember when it all began

It’s all my fault and I can’t overwrite

Say you must go

I will be defeated

Don’t look back… you know

At my heart mistreated

I will let you know

When everything will be calm

Right now the wind blows

I’m in an overwhelming storm

And I’m getting overcold

I need a place to rest and overcome

Have I done something wrong?

Or do I never say anything right?

My wavering soul

Is like a quivering light

Because of everything I wrote

I cannot go back in time

But if I remember when it all began,

It' all my fault, and I can’t overwrite

Say you must go

And I won’t follow

There is no clemency

For a silly girl like me

I will let you go

And I will understand

But I will feel so alone

When you’ll be in your promised land

I shall make my footstone

And engrave how insane I am

Have I done something wrong?

Or do I never say anything right?

Is it those promises I’ve made

Or some others I should’ve written

Must be why I am dismayed, wistful and so disheartened

But if I remember when it all began

It’s all my fault and I can’t overwrite
