I've got no reason to stay here

These lyrics struck me in a particular way as I try to leave poor habits and attitudes behind and replace them with healthy, loving ones. They reminded me of how deceptive habits and attitudes can be; comforting in such an empty way. Here's to a fresh start.
Dear Love, I'll miss you much
I'll miss your smile, and I'll miss your touch
But I've found a place where I can erase my past
Maybe someday when you're old and gray
And your hair falls out and your tattoos fade
You might see me standing hand in hand


I have to go away
I've got no reason to stay here
You said someday you'll change
But even a fool will tell you
Someday never comes
-Brandi Carlile
(metaphor)
