i made it out that you weren’t going
i made it out that you would stay
ignored all the signs, all the lies, all the games

i hid inside my head
just to escape the truth
acclimatised to all the cobwebs, all the shelves and now i know this turned into bad news

but then we were oceans apart
split second, now i’m lost in the dark
trying to turn on the light on just to see you again
trying to make this right, but you’re leaving again
you’re leaving again

replay it all and think it through
was it me or was it you?
was i blinded by your words
psychoanalyse them until they don’t hurt

is this all we wanted
should we leave it now, dead?
should we try to relight it, burn the flame that we had?
the hours they melted, only seashells on the shore
i filled a bucket of crabs but i always wanted more
the jagged rocks won’t emulate your face
all of this chaos, but i’m still in the same place
i’ll try to be okay with just enough
i’ve got to lower my expectations because
i’m asking for the earth
