Watching You Go

(Album: Two Ribbons - 2022)

There's this rage trapped inside
In this violence, in the noise which amplifies
How I shake, how I shatter
As you're tearing at the touch like butterflies
I want to shed myself and lay back in the earth sometimes
Surrender to the sky
I wanna feel whole with the world unfolding
And the way it makes me feel as if I'm still a little child
She makes it hard for you to have to say goodbye

And I said to you, I'm not staying in, I'm not wasting it, I'm not
And I said to you, I'm not staying in, I'm not wasting it, I'm not
But I was watching you go
And I was watching you go

And though I tried my best it's fading, getting fainter now
This distance thinly cloaked
I still wake up sometimes and I feel I've lost it
Just like a dream I had which slowly comes unstuck
You made me feel as if I'm someone you could love

And I said to you, I'm not staying in, I'm not wasting it, I'm not
And I said to you, I'm not staying in, I'm not wasting it, I'm not
But I was watching you go
And I was watching you go

Watching
Watching
Watching
Watching
Watching
I was watching you go
I was watching
I was
I was watching
I was watching

Oh, oh I
I was
I was, oh
I was watching you go

I was
I was watching you go
