this song is about a broken friendship, and trying to change to fit what you think they want out of you.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know,
I kind of like the way it hurts,
The pain of losing you just isn’t enough anymore,
I know,
You didn’t like who I was,
At least I tried to change for you, and you alone,
[Pre Chorus]
I burned an effigy,
I combed the city streets,
Spent months searching for someone like you,
[Chorus]
I can’t keep going on like this,
You know it’s you I’ll always miss,
I try to move to find I’m stuck,
My mistakes aren’t just bad luck,
Now I’ll just have to reminisce,
[Verse 2]
I threw,
My heart into the ocean,
A little box of secrets that I couldn’t keep,
Hanging on,
To the tether of a lifeline,
The last thing keeping you here is now lost,
[Pre Chorus]
I burned an effigy,
I combed the city streets,
Spent months searching for someone like you,
[Chorus]
I can’t keep going on like this,
You know it’s you I’ll always miss,
I try to move to find I’m stuck,
My mistakes aren’t just bad luck,
Now I’ll just have to reminisce,
[Chorus]
I can’t keep going on like this,
You know it’s you I’ll always miss,
No resolution is in sight,
Maybe you were always right,
Now I’ll just have to reminisce,
Because you’re the one I’ll always miss,
