i do, adieu

(album: are you ok? - 2019)

I was staring at the ceiling after a fight we had
From the comfort of your father's broken couch in the living room
I could've burned a hole right up into heaven
With the hate spilling out my eyes

That's when it hit me
That episode of Cheers
Where Sam's about to marry Diane
But he's afraid that the life they live feels comfortable
But gets in the way of everything that she could ever be

Our love must die here
In this old cursed apartment
So that the light inside of you can grow

I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
The one holding you back

To be honest, I'm not sure if you saw that one
You'd always fall asleep before then
When it was the background soundtrack
To our low-class love shack
As we tossed and turned that night
When we were in what I'd call love

But that love has died here
In this old cursed apartment
So that the light inside of you can grow

I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
I was the one holding you back
The one holding you back
