about

written in summer 2019 about the ache of having been wrong

lyrics

make a fist, curl my fingers on my skin,
no relax, i flex them out again
three days since last night and no word,
well maybe, this is just what i deserve

you told me everything that night,
wouldn't let you say that everything's alright
maybe i should've shut my damn mouth,
wish it worked when i tried to kick you out

cause i told you i was scared you would leave me like this,
you said "darling, i wouldn't dream of it,"
but we're here now, we're on the other side,
and i bet you can't even look me in the eyes
oh no

wish i'd known it was the last time
instead i thought you were finally mine
maybe you were, maybe you always will be
maybe that's why you couldn't have me

this is the strangest kind of fear i've ever felt
coming to terms with the hand i was dealt
and i played it just the best that i could
but lord forgive me, played longer than i should

cause i told you i was scared you would leave me like this
you said "darling, i wouldn't dream of it,"
but we're here now, we're on the other side
and i bet you can't even look me in the eyes
oh no
no
