about

A song I wrote about May 18th.

lyrics

I didn't know I'd end up here,
crushed underneath my greatest fears
it's all so quiet now,
show me the way out
cover my ache in weed and beer,
tell my own soul to cease and sear
the wind blowing all around,
deafened by the sound

take my hand right now and tell me that you're never gonna leave
promise me you'll mean the things you say on May 18th
kiss me like you mean it,
I'll do my best to be your queen

oh the things we could have seen
I guess it was a fever dream
I guess it was a fantasy
too good, too soon, couldn't be you and me
I guess I never could have seen
the way you didn't look at me
I guess it wasn't meant to be
too bad, you left, but I set myself free

I didn't know I'd end up here,
feeling so distant yet so near
it's all in color now
I am alive somehow
wrap me up in warm bed sheets
show me the way up off my knees
my head lives in the clouds
I am so very proud

take my hand right now and tell me that you're gonna let me bleed
hold on hoping that there's good to overcome your greed
walk out like you mean it, but now I am everything I need

I know it was a fever dream
I know it was a fantasy
too good, too soon, couldn't be you and me
I know I never could have seen
the way you didn't look at me
I know it wasn't meant to be
too bad, you left, but I set myself free

I set myself free.
