You can say you're on the healin' side
You can say you've finally seen the light
But I don't see it yet, so how do I forget

Don't you whisper borrowed words
When you know just how hard it hurts
Baby, break it right
Leave me on the healing side

'Cause it's not just love you're killing
All you've wasted and watered down
I'm not able, I'm not willing
To just lay this in the ground
If I don't have a quiet place to run and hide
Have mercy, leave me on the healing side
Oh, the healing side

I watch the blue folding into black
And if I could I wouldn't give it back
This I can't undo
But I can make it through

'Cause it's not just love you're killing
All you've wasted and watered down
I'm not able, I'm not willing
To just lay this in the ground
If I don't have a quiet place to run and hide
Oh, have mercy, leave me on the healing side

Maybe I needed too much
Maybe not enough
This would have been easy
If it were all about us

'Cause it's not just love you're killing
All you've wasted and watered down
I'm not able, I'm not willing
To just lay this in the ground
If I don't have a quite place to run and hide
Oh, have mercy, leave me on the healing side

You can say you're on the healing side
You can say you've finally seen the light
Oh, but I don't see it yet
