These past few days I've been sharing a snippet of the chorus to this song to a couple of you guys on here. I honestly reallyyy love this one but I've been hesitant to post it because I don't want the song subject to take it the wrong way ( so if you're reading this by any chance, I'm sorry and I still love you as always ). It's been a rollercoaster of emotions this week ( nothing new, 2024 has been like this since the start of the year ) and well, as a songwriter I just had to pour my heart out into lyrics. This ended up being much longer than expected, whoops-
1ST VERSE:
One year and three months
That's how long it's been
I could pull so many stunts
Several of my own lies spinned within
Oh, where do I even begin?
When it's a web I can't untangle
And it's our interaction we're prone to strangle
PRE-CHORUS:
I hate to do this, you know I do
Especially after every thing I've put you through
You don't deserve this, I don't deserve you
But I can't bottle it in no more
When I just came back from the drawing board
Can't leave my thoughts to drown by the shore
I refuse to internally explode like before
CHORUS:
Communication is key, but you locked it
How did two good people make this toxic?
And there's only so much I can take
Before I crash into another heartbreak
If you need space, then go ahead and take it
It's surely about time I quit worshipping you as sacred
Anyways...
2ND VERSE:
Are we both at fault here?
I don't know how to steer this love into the clear
When you're just as bad at this, driving us into a dead end
There's so much we don't intend, so much we don't yet comprehend
So much of what I say is farfetched
I'm so incredulous to think we're end game
Mixed signals I'll receive if you think the same
It's what I percieve that drives me insane
Too far ahead, I failed to push the brakes
And there's only so much I can take
Before I crash into another heartbreak
PRE-CHORUS:
I hate to do this, you know I do
Especially after every thing I've put you through
You don't deserve this, I don't deserve you
But I can't bottle it in anymore
When I just came back from the drawing board
CHORUS:
Communication is key, but you locked it
How did two good people make this toxic?
And there's only so much I can take
Before I crash into another heartbreak
If you need space, then go ahead and take it
It's surely about time I quit worshipping you as sacred
Anyways...
BRIDGE:
I put you up on a pedestal
And you think too good of me
How could we both condone such a thing?
Tell me, is it plausible?
If it very much won't correlate
But I guess we'll leave it up to fate
Yet in the end we'll forever be to blame
For even straying this way
CHORUS:
Communication is key, but you locked it
How did two good people make this toxic?
And there's only so much I can take
Before I crash into another heartbreak
If you need space, then go ahead and take it
It's surely about time I quit worshipping you as sacred
Anyways...
3RD VERSE:
Communication is key, but I locked my voice in a box
When there never even was an Ursula
The waterfall's currents too deep
So I traded what I had for feet
To reach you at a decent speed
Will we ever walk the same road?
Every sign displayed another code
Words we'll never know if they haven't been told
And reading me is an unsolved puzzle
Or a mismatched direction
That could bring this love into resurrection
CHORUS:
Communication is key, but you locked it
How did two good people make this toxic?
And there's only so much I can take
Before I crash into another heartbreak
If you need space, then go ahead and take it
It's surely about time I quit worshipping you as sacred
Anyways...
OUTRO:
And it turns out we couldn't make it too far
If we couldn't jumpstart the car in our hearts
Tell me when we'll quit our trauma's scars
Cause they don't seem to fade like the daydreams did
I fear that at this point we're too different
