Raven Katz - Labor of Love Lyrics

Happy birthday, I know we haven't spoken in a while
You've stayed unresolved and wholly out of favor
The sole unwanted labor on my mind
It's work to find sentiment there
For the day you born
I'm still glad you born, by the way
Softly, bare chested and plain
And you left me the same way

Locked in reeling from questions that I never got to ask
Slowly healing the hurt with some sincerity
It's taken me some time to wish you well
But I keep the wanting at bay
Threw your number away
'Guess I tied my own hands since the day
I came down to hear you as part of the art and the replay

Was it your labor of love
To spiral through sorrow beside me
Just to turn around and leave me on my knees
What a twisted way to be

First in feeling, second in the cradle of your hands
I've made peace, still I'm working on my jealousy
Can you really blame me after that mess?
You told me you'd never be part of the formula heart
Like the lovers you've seen
That was the night on the roof when we cheered for the home team

Was it your labor of love
To spiral through sorrow beside me
Just to turn around and leave me on my knees
What a twisted way to be

You baited me in with an honest beginning
Let the silence shout out that was all you'd be giving to anyone
And I was just anyone

Wasn't it a labor
To walk away quiet with nothing to say for the way you behaved?
I'm biting my tongue for the fury
It's louder now lately, it's all I can do to stay sane
I thought that the pain would subside
But it rose up in flames
It's a spark at the sound of your name
