Grave from grave by Frankie Tuffragette

You shouted much more than you talked
So I ran a lot more than I walked

I don't mean to be grave
But I need to be brave
And say how I actually feel
It ain't gonna be fun
But I've waited too long
And it's time that I actually healed

So here I go
You're gonna get what you deserve
Yeah here I go
And this time I'm-a take the last word

When I said that I hated you
You said that you hated me too
I didn't know what to do
I had to sleep under your roof

I don't mean to be grave
But I need to be brave
And tell you the damage you've done
Or I'll go to my grave
And the damage will stay
On the tip of my cold, lifeless tongue

So here I go
You're gonna get what you deserve
Yeah here I go
And this time I'm-a take the last word
Yeah here we go
And I ain't giving you a turn
Yeah here I go
My words like hands round your throat

You shouted much more than you talked
So I ran a lot more than I walked

You took a lot more than you gave
So I left a lot more than I stayed

So I'm gonna be grave
And you better behave
'Cause the damage you did was immense
You're not getting away
Living day after day
Convinced of your innocence

So here I go
You're gonna get what you deserve
Yeah here I go
And this time I'll have the last word
Yeah here we go
Yeah this one's going to hurt
'Cause I don't know
How else you're going to learn

Yeah here I go
