about

This song is about the conflicting feelings of resentment, sympathy and guilt that comes from loving someone whose past trauma causes them to hurt you.

Stylistically, this track is closer to my older instrumental works, with a dark yet dancey sound. It's heavily influenced by retro 80's synthwave, but with a bit more of an aggressive, distorted feel.

lyrics

VERSE 1

My heart is broken
But it’s fucking dinner time
I’ll pick up the shards, and
Try to crack a smile

The words you’ve spoken
What should I hide them in?
This whole apartment
I don’t even know where to fucking begin

So I’ll do us both a favor
And I’ll never try to put us back together

CHORUS

Oh my god we are falling apart
We are falling apart
We are falling apart
2x

VERSE 2

You just want silence
There’s nothing you won’t do
To hide the violence
That you were born into

So I keep trying
Put back the shards of you
When you’re always fighting
Can you ever be anything but cruel?

So I’ll do us both a favor
And I’ll never try to put us back together
Ever again

[CHORUS]

They broke you
Into pieces
And now I’m left with shards
They’re cutting me

They hurt you
So you’re hurting me
Is this who you are?

I know you
I know we
Could be better than
Who we are right now

I’ll try to
Put the pieces
Back together again

[CHORUS]
[Guitar solooooooo]
