Rip

(album: I Can Build A Fire - 2016)

Try as I may to remain super calm
How can I, when you are never here?
Deep in your head, all the signs of unrest
Is it best that you just disappear?

You were desperate to be adored
Together forever, now you're unsure

I gave you all I ever had and all I wanted back
Was a little love to see me through the night
I understand why I am here and you are over there
The love you had for me has simply died

Rest in peace, you and me
Rest in peace, I will set you free

My shattered soul shouldn't hold on to you
Go on go, find a new puppeteer
Cutting strings, pack your things, leave the key
Drive away, far away, don't you be near

You were hungry for my love
Now I'm no longer enough

I gave you all I ever had and all I wanted back
Was a little love to see me through the night
I understand why I'm here and you are over there
The love you had for me has simply died

Rest in peace, you and me
Rest in peace, I will set you free

Rest in peace, you and me
Rest in peace, I will set you free

When there is nothing left but emptiness and broken words
And the river isn't flowing anymore
It is time to rip apart the past and start again
Won't make the same mistakes as before
