To the great unknown
Before you hit the road
Have you searched within or inside?
I don't really want to make you sad
And I would hate it if I made you uncomfortable
I'm in savior mode
So I'll let you go
Swallowing my pride
You're out the door
So I'll spare you all my emotions this time, this time
Now that you might die
I find it selfish to pain you with wanting closure
'Cause it's closed, I know
Mr. Sacrifice, make it barely known
But can it still remain inside?
When you leave for the voices calling you home
Will I grieve or will I miss anything at all?
I don't even have a photograph
Of us happy and healthy to hold on to
I'm in savior mode
So I'll let you go
Swallowing my pride
You're out the door
So I'll spare you all my emotions this time, this time
Now that you might die
I find it selfish to pain you with wanting closure
'Cause it's closed, I know
If there was a moment (I'll stay)
To lay it all down (so quiet now)
It's now (I'll stay)
Right now (so quiet now)
But I just can't see it (I'll stay)
Coming out my mouth (so quiet now)
Oh well (I'll stay)
Oh (so quiet now)
Swallowing my pride
You're out the door
So I'll spare you all my emotions this time, this time
Now that you might die
I find it selfish to pain you with wanting closure
