about

A song about learning what is and isn’t worth keeping around in your life.

lyrics

I thought I needed you for so long
That without you, I’d only be half as strong
Dancing on my own now the music’s stopped
Preferring the silence
Over the sound

I thought I’d miss you more than I do now
Too afraid to talk it through with me
Baby, how?

Dearly departed
Will it be good to see you again?
Grab my hands and ask me
‘Hey can we still be friends?’

But after all this time together
Couldn’t even look me in the eyes
I deserve better
After all that we’ve been through
Turns out I didn’t know you

I hope my ghost haunts you everywhere you go
That you hear my name in your mind
Haunting echoes

It took you two weeks to have the guts to come around
Saw me in the street
Can’t help it, we live in a small town

I thought I’d miss you more than I do now
But I see your mistakes
Through all the pain
And all I can say now

Is dearly departed
It won’t be good to see you again
Ask me a million times
It hurts, but we can’t be friends

But after all this time together
Still can’t say my name, make it short
No, I deserve better
After all that we’ve been through
Turns out I wasn’t known by you
