Exit Wound

I thought I'd learned to deal with the suffering
But now you're gone, and it seeps through everything
And once again, my heart is filled with nothing

I felt my heartstrings break
Now all I feel is the weight of sorrow 'round my neck
It drags me down, down to my knees
Pulling me under and away from everything

This misery it won't leave me be
Do I too have to be six feet deep to be free?
So it seems
I try to hold it together, but it just keeps failing at the seams

Done is done, its too late to change
You left a hole that's permanent
It drags me down, down to my knees
Pulling me under and away from everything

Exit wound, puncturing flesh and bone
Tearing through heart and soul, you're gone and I'm left alone
Exit wound, the kind that never heals
A hole that never fills, a pain I never thought I'd feel

Why did it have to be this way?
Why couldn't I do anything?
It drags me down, down to my knees
Pulling me under and away from everything

My final goodbye forever denied
All that's left is the memories and tears I've cried

Now I'm left to choke on the words I never spoke
They fill my throat, I'm left with no hope
Why couldn't I have been by your side
I would have held your hand as you fought that final fight

Exit wound, puncturing flesh and bone
Tearing through heart and soul, you're gone and I'm left alone
Exit wound, the kind that never heals
A hole that never fills, a pain I never thought I'd feel

Exit wound, the kind that never heals
Exit wound, a hole that never fills
Exit wound, a pain I never thought I'd feel
Exit wound
