lyrics

One last time before I leave
This will only make things harder to move on
We give up sometimes there's not much left to give

It's not your fault
With time things change
Close your eyes and trace the lines upon my face
There's no symmetry with love or irony

Try not to say anything
When you know this will never be stable
For what it's worth I'm miserable
Knowing that we will never be able

I won't forget anything
You're a part of what has made me who I am
You're the reason I find comfort in regret

Try not to say anything
When you know this will never be stable
For what it's worth I'm miserable
Knowing that we will never be able

We carry all the weight
Time wasted filling spaces left behind
It’s not when we are apart
We’ll bury all the places growing still

Try not to say anything
When you know this will never be stable
For what it's worth I'm miserable
Knowing that we will never be able

about

After Yellow Red Austin, Texas

The lyrics, introspective and hopeful, reflect on the past's influence on the present, and how it shapes how we navigate murky waters in times of struggle and uncertainty. ... more
