lyrics

Well ain't it cruel how the world keeps turning?
Your whole entire life could snap in half in a moment
And you still gotta focus
I'm always hoping I catch covid
I'd find the time to sleep and process my emotions
'Cause my heart's still broken

And I still feel you surrounding me
Aching through my bones like a flu that'll never leave

I'm tryin' hard to forget you
But my life changed since I met you
You were all I'd see; you were where I'd be
You were all I'd need; you were my whole family
I wish I stayed hidden inside
'Cause now my heart's come alive
And all I see is what you gave me
My first and only sense of normalcy

I never thought that I'd know safety
When my shitty old landlord tried to debase me
You came over to save me
Looking back now that moment changed me
I'd be the one to let other wills overtake me
Now I'm stronger lately

And I still feel you surrounding me
Aching through my bones like a flu that'll never leave

I'm tryin' hard to forget you
But my life changed since I met you
You were all I'd see; you were where I'd be
You were all I'd need; you were my whole family
I wish I stayed hidden inside
'Cause now my heart's come alive
And all I see is what you gave me
My first and only sense of normalcy

If I could only say one thing: I'd tell you that I'm sorry
I failed you as a friend. I'm scared I failed you more than anyone
If I had the spine, I'd send me back where I came from
But nothing could snuff out how much you really mean to me

I'm tryin' hard to forget you
But my life changed when I met you
You were all I'd see; you were where I'd be
You were all I'd need; you were my whole family
I wish I stayed hidden inside
'Cause now my heart's come alive
And all I see is what you gave me
My first and only sense of normalcy
Now I see what you gave me:
My first and only sense of normalcy
