about

This song was written during an extremely trying time in my life. I hit my lowest point, and i truly believed it was it. I was about to give up on everything and everyone i knew. As a result, this ended up being my most personal and genuine song. After that bump in the road, i decided to expand on this song, adding elements and references to everything i've done previously. This is the big send-off, and i hope it lives up to that!

lyrics

Lyrics:

The last time i saw you
I was an embarrassing pathetic mess
That was so long ago but i assume you remember only that
I’ve tried my best to change who i am
The clock just keeps ticking on and on
It’s not just you

It’s everything i’ve done in the past few years
It all adds up and i can’t face up to what i’ve become
I wish i could take a step backwards in time
Erase you and i
Because i’d rather not remind you of who i was with nothing but more bad times
I don’t want to make everything worse, i’m sure you’ve forgotten me by now
I’ve grown past you, but when i’m not around...
Just know all i thought of is the hundreds of faces i’ll be letting down
And i still imagine you in that crowd

I hope this isn’t my last song
But as of right now i’m looking for a way out

I’ve said all that needed to be said
Just know i love you, even if i’m dead

Life is what you make it
But when you can’t make anything
Who’s going to pay for your grave?
I guess we shouldn’t worry about such things
But i’m rushing for the door.

I’ve said all that needed to be said
Just know i love you, even if i’m dead

I know i’m horrible
Absolutely terrible
But I’m not all that bad
I’ve just miscalculated the plunge
I’ve got an eye for something, i’ll never find out what
This is my lowest point and i can’t get back up
I’m sorry to anyone disappointed and angry
I’m sorry to everyone i love
Please don’t forget me

I love you all
I haven’t lived long,
Yet I’ve seen it all
I don’t mean the world
But everyone worth loving
And all the art worth making
So hold me close
Don’t forget me
It’s bittersweet, not for you but for me
And maybe on the brighter side of things, in my last moments i’ll learn something

I’m betraying everyone i know
And it’s going to hurt
But with time, i’m sure you’ll let me go
