Street Noise

(album: The Last Songs I'll Write About You (For Real) - 2023)

Whether I like it or not
You left your mark on me
Sometimes I try to pretend
It was all make believe

You put me down like a child
With a smile on your face
Drowned me in miles and miles
Of my own mistakes
And even though it's over
Feels like you're still
Rubbing it in my face
I need something to bring me back
To me

I'm gonna listen to the street noise
Try to block you out
Forget that you were something
I couldn't live without
Oh yeah, I've had days I've been better
But I know I'll figure it out
Gonna listen to the street noise
Get it memorized
Step out of my head
One minute at a time
Oh yeah I've had days I've been better
But I know I'll be alright

Whether you know it or not
You really messed me up
No matter how much I gave you
I never gave enough

We were trapped on different pages
Trying to change each other's minds
The last of your patience
Was breaking
Pulling me back on your side
I know you had the best of intentions
But still I wonder why
You had to shut me out
Mmm but I don't wanna think about that right now

I'm gonna listen to the street noise
Try to block you out
Forget that you were something
I couldn't live without
Oh yeah, I've had days I've been better
But I know I'll figure it out
Gonna listen to the street noise
Get it memorized
Step out of my head
One minute at a time
Oh yeah I've had days I've been better
But I know I'll be alright

If it's the last thing that I do
I'm gonna teach myself to let go of you
If it's the last thing I do, I, I

I'm gonna listen to the street noise
Try to block you out
I'm gonna listen to the street noise
Try to block you out
Forget that you were something
I couldn't live without
Oh yeah, I've had days I've been better
But I know I'll figure it out
Gonna listen to the street noise
Get it memorized
Step out of my head
One minute at a time
Oh yeah I've had days I've been better
But I know I'll be alright
