dear me,

(album: the art of thanking yourself - 2022)

I thought I'd seen good days but that was until I met you
For I've come so far here on my own, so hear me out before you go
Because I see a life with you and I wonder why I've been making do
All the rules that I've made only to have them break
I'm here today, it's okay, please tell me

Was it you, was it?
Keeping the lights on swore that I couldn't
Thought I survived it all before you came around
I was alone in my head instead

Was it you, was it?
Was it you, was it?
Was it something you said, did you try to tell me?

I can't sleep at all sometimes
The morning comes but where the fuck am I?
That's when I look into your eyes
And I'm glad you're with me
Through all of the time I refused to accept
The boy that was with me and never left
All the rules that I've made only to have them
Break I'm here today it's okay, please tell me

Was it you, was it?
Keeping the lights on swore that I couldn't
Thought I survived it all before you came
Around I was alone in my head instead
Was it you, was it?
Falling in love with walls that I've tainted
Opening door I don't remember anymore
Was it something you said, did you try to tell me?

Was it you, was it?
Was it you, was it?
Was it something you said did you try to tell me?

Was it you, was it?
Keeping the lights on swore that I couldn't
Opening door I don't remember anymore
Was it something you said, did you try to tell me?

If you let me try, I'll do this right
Even if I fail a thousand times...
