lyrics

I’ve had my share of heartbreaks/ living in a dark place/
Swimming with emotions in the ocean/ little shark bait/
Feel it/ my heart aches// Hear it down the hallways/
Learning things/ the hard way/ like smashing onto concrete/
There her voice calling/ then falling like park leaves/
My heart’s still warm/ so of course she won’t leave/
I’m so lonely/ I know she’s not the only/
One/ but I’ve succumbed to love/ it controls me/
I want to hold her/ least her to hold me/
She was my lover, my best friend, my roadie/
We traded stories/ embarrassing and boring/
Everywhere we shared/ yeah/ she was there for me/
At home, the park, the campus or when the phone rings/
Her voice could transform evenings into mornings/
Soothing// just when the sun’s dawning/
I see nothing but starting to hear something/

It is hard to let go/ Let the voice echo/
Tunnels of the metro/ But no one’s there/
I heard a “Hello”/ Because I said so/
Write with a pencil/ Like she’s right here/
But she’s not here/ Nope, not here/
That is not her/ It can’t be/
I gotta think clear/ I gotta speak clear/
Ready, ready, re-re-ready, let-let go/

Easier said// I hear her sleepin’ in bed/
I feel like an astronaut evading imminent meteor beds/
I can’t escape/ I see her face in the mirror/
Bet I’d hear her clearer as ever when my hearing is dead/
What must I do?// with clinging memories and “I love you’s”/
I gotta stop thinking you’re the reason/ because you/
Look/ I’m doing it again/ okay it’s not you/
It’s me/ sounds like I wanna break up too/
But you see/ I’m tryin to do my best to move on/
You broke up with me/ I’m just finishin’ off/’
‘Cause love/ is one hell of a drug/ reaction/
I’m in recovery/ sweaty palms/ relapsin’/
I can’t, function/ on a daily basis/
Ya see this ribcage/ this space/ it’s empty/
All’s left is this song/ let the feelings explode/
So hopefully by the end/ I can let go/

It is hard to let go/ Let the voice echo/
Tunnels of the metro/ But no one’s there/
I heard a “Hello”/ Because I said so/
Write with a pencil/ Like she’s right here/
But she’s not here/ Nope, not here/
That is not her/ It can’t be/
I gotta think clear/ I gotta speak clear/
Ready, ready, re-re-ready, let-let go/
