HALLWAYS

(album: winter's howl - 2023)

So I wrote a little song, and it went like this
All the kids from the block, finally say goodbye to all the things we used to be (Aah)
Well, everybody wanna be like me, oh well
People think they know it all 'til I say, sometimes I feel like I'm counting down the days

You could have it all, then (You could have it all)
Maybe we can solve it (Maybe we can solve it)
Leave me broken-hearted, but I still come back to you (Still come back to you, woah)
Walking down the hallway (Walking down the hallway)
Drowning in my heartache (Drowning in my heartache)
Baby, you could heal the pain, but I'll never see you again (Aah)

Ah
Oh (Oh)
How you gonna break me down, and I'm never gon' be the same? (Ah)
Honey, you're the one to blame
How you show me to the light, and bring me right back down?
All my friends from the block moving out of town, but I swear
I won't forget her name
'Cause everybody in this room want me dead back, well
Yeah, I was smoking in the wild, but I gotta tell you something
I wish you stayed in hell (Ah)
Remember how we loved traffic, so we let it rain
Got a pocket full of bands, spent it in a day
Rain, rain, go away, looking up, it's grey
I was looking for the text, not coming today
Couple months, nineteen, then I went insane
Disappeared from her life like Johnny Blaze
Running red on her nose, ain't no candy cane
Said I'd never have to worry, but I guess this what you wanted

I thought this is what you wanted (Ah)
Maybe we can solve it (Maybe we can solve it)
I been thinking all day about the things we used to say (Used to say)
Walking down the hallway (Walking down the hallway)

Ask me if she ever—, ask me if she ever loved me (Hey)
And I knew it wasn't real, but I still bought it
So she loaded up the clip, I was the target
But I'm the wrong kid
Somewhere along the road, I stood
She never really understood
The love she gave was just a lie
Now, who the fuck's that other guy?
Somewhere along the road, I failed
Reach out to her with no avail
The secrets out, don't gotta lie
You really thought that I was blind
Girl, you make me feel so blue inside (Oh)
Like I'm staring at an ocean sky (Oh)
Heard you're sorry like a hundred times (Oh)
If I died, would you still be mine?
Girl, you know I can't just coincide
You're the only one I love, and you know it
Sorry that I ain't myself, too much to show it

You-You-You-You-You could have it all, then (You could have it all, then)
Maybe we can solve it (Maybe we can solve it)
Leave me broken-hearted, but I still come back to you (Still come back to you)
Walking down the hallway (Walking down the hallway)
Drowning in my heartache (Drowning in my heartache)
Baby, you can heal the pain, but I'll never see you again (Ah)

Walking down the hallway (Walking down the hallway)
Drowning in my heartache (Drowning in my heartache)
Baby, you could heal the pain, but I'll never see you again (Ah)
