Miss Ivy Overwrite
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
