I Never Got To

(album: Portals - 2018)

What's you're about to hear today is nothing short of a miracle
It's the same story everywhere
Yeah

Feels like yesterday my
Head went up in flames, you
Left me in the rain with
Nothing but my own paradise of pain
And it swallowed me

I still see your eyes when
Ever I close mine and
Every single time I
Wonder if you'll laugh or leave me alone
If I don't want you to

'Cause you can't come back and I can't move on
And I'm breaking bad 'cause it feels so wrong
When you left that night, I never got to tell you goodbye
And it's too late now and it vexed my heart
'Cause I don't know how you could just go dark
Like a broken light, I never got to tell you goodbye

Science can't explain
When something goes away, thin
Air without a trace, yeah
It still leaves a trail of regret behind
And I'm following

And I can't go back to where I was before
Everything we had is ashes on the floor
And I just don't think my heart could handle more
Of the gravity of heaven's doors

'Cause you can't come back and I can't move on
And I'm breaking bad 'cause it feels so wrong
When you left that night, I never got to tell you goodbye
And it's too late now and it vexed my heart
'Cause I don't know how you could just go dark
Like a broken light, I never got to tell you goodbye

One of the most misleading words in human language is love
Straight to the vein, but then you wait for the effects of the drug
'Cause it can mean so many things when you say it to someone, yeah yeah

One of the most misleading words in human language is love

And I'm breaking bad 'cause it feels so wrong

And it's too late now and it vexed my heart
