Anthony Carreras - Severance (Live)

Here's a story that began with such promise
Love and friends and family and the resources to harness
Babies they grow older and turn into something bolder
As you put in all the work and throw it all up on your shoulders
And then
Shock and awe
I never saw it coming
Busy cooking meals and paying bills while you were running around
But at the end of the day I'm glad
'Cause living on my own without you
It ain't so bad
It's rather silly how you try to save face
Spin a fancy tale of how you always felt so unsafe
You said that you were talking 'bout emotions
And I'm thinking to myself
In your head there's just commotion`
'Cause I know the only safety that was lacking
Was the kind I thought was backing all these years together
Raising up something strong
I was wrong
It's okay
Things change
Well I've got my truth to live
And all this love to give
And I just want to say
That I hope you're happy now
Living on your own
Making your own way
Though I know you're not alone
Still I hope you're happy now
Taking your own time
You're no longer mine
But truthfully that's fine
You can
Have
Your
Severance
If I could do it over I'd have burned it all down
All the times I held down the fort
While you were out of town
Hindsight is 20/20 and in truth it's kind of funny
I don't need you or your money
'Cause it all went to waste
Baby don't you think you might be acting in haste
But never mind it's too late
The ink is dry
Now it's time to say goodbye
Well I've got my truth to live
And all this love to give
And I just want to say
That I hope you're happy now
Living on your own
Making your own way
Though I know you're not alone
Still I hope you're happy now
Taking your own time
You're no longer mine
But truthfully that's fine
You can
Have
Your
Severance
And just like that, everything in separation
And to think you once cared for consecration
Is anything real
Recall it's not a contract it's a covenant
Remember that
As you try to supplement whoever comes next
I know there's only so much to be gained
Singing on and on about your lying and the subsequent pain
And besides, I already know
So it's time to let you go
Well I've got my truth to live
And all this love to give
And I just want to say
That I hope you're happy now
Living on your own
Making your own way
Though I know you're not alone
Still I hope you're happy now
Taking your own time
You're no longer mine
But truthfully that's fine
Baby I hope you're happy now
With everything you've made
All the tradeoffs that you've weighed
I hope you have your say
'Cause you've
Got
Your
Severance
