It’s been a tough one
Like 7 years long grief that needs no words.
If only I took the time to try and recall my heart would break.
Straying from the past,
All of these roads led me all the way back home.
And I’m sick of detention, I’m sick of it all.
Love consumed me and left me high and dry,
And now I hate everyone,
But in a free fall to a bramble of thorns
I hear your voice calling me out.
“Oh when we get old, we’ll have nothing but our memories, you know?”
Well, I could say, make it painful, make it real,
I’ll always treasure it regardless.
You can never take what felt like love away from me,
Cause is the same emotion I get from this.
Rewind to the times when we were broken but we had
The tools to fix it,
We were so beautifully vulnerable,
Was it always gonna be like that?
When we were young.
Was it ever truly painful to be heartbroken?
Was it ever even sore when we broke our bones on ice-cold ground?
Cause spinning this out, it’s fucking agonising, I rather spill more blood than carry on like this.
They don’t know what we’ve been through,
And that’s okay.
They’ll never understand what it’s like to have a dream to cherish to the grave.
At times I force myself to envision the end,
To see if this mattered at all, and I hope I’d see you all there, though I can’t.
And I’m grasping at the rim of consciousness, my only wish is to rewind
To the times when we were broken but we had the tools to fix it,
We were so beautifully vulnerable back then,
But was it always gonna be like that?
The aches and pains intensify, as we turn away from what once made us shine.
Rewind, to the time when we were broken but we had the time to heal our wounds.
Make me feel again.
