Your ghost still walks the carpet
Your smell still fills the room
Yet you are gone and I remain
The house we once shared
Is now free from pain
Though I hang here until the lease expires
I’m now free from the shackles of your jealousy
Walking with an angel, I’m rid for life of liars

I slept through the winter of my discontent
You mocked me through the summer of repent
I rose like a phoenix from the flames in the fall of hope
I'm flying with my Californian angel, no longer choked by your rope
I learnt to let go of you and watch you fall from the sky
Did not turn to see you land or ask myself why
Knives out for the memories
Knives out for the pain

I used to dream of you and where you were tonight
Wonder why you did what you did to me yet still feel alright
Did you feel anything, not even a sense of regret?
I was half of you and you were half of me
Now I spit in the face of your mocking
There is nothing left, are you to dumb to see?
What's going through your head?

I slept through the winter of my discontent
You mocked me through the summer of repent
I rose like a phoenix from the flames in the fall of hope
I'm flying with my Californian angel, no longer choked by your rope
I learnt to let go of you and watch you fall from the sky
Did not turn to see you land or ask myself why
Knives out for the memories
Knives out for the pain

Every trace of you has been removed from my life
I now walk with the one I want to be my wife
Maybe the future is unknown
Maybe my life is unsure
If your love is my poison
Her love is the cure
Knives out for the memories
Knives out for the pain
Knives cut deep in the wounds you caused
Yet I’m healed once again
