The Wounds We Bled - Heather Nova

We don’t decide what we do

We take the splinters, drive them through

We took the road all painted blue

We needed to

I’m finding pieces under rugs

Forgotten words, candy hearts

Wound so tightly that they stopped

They needed to

All the things I wish I’d known

The willow weeps where the seeds are thrown

All the things I wish I’d said

I’m better for the wounds we bled

Got no control but we do

And all the shimmer, let it through

I held it back, somehow I knew

I needed to

All the things I wish I’d known

The willow weeps where the seeds are thrown

All the things I wish I’d said

I’m better for the wounds we bled

Did it all for worse or better

Now I got my shit together

Was it worth it, it’s whatever

I wanna think about it

All the things I wish I’d known

The willow weeps where the seeds are thrown

All the things I wish I’d said

I’m better for the wounds we bled

I’m better for the wounds we bled

I’m better for the wounds we bled
