- LYRICS:
The uncertainty that’s filling the room
Is heavy on my lungs
I taste it on the tip of my tongue
It’s unfair that you were left to assume
That I was checked out, packed up, and waiting for my chance to run
If I am being honest
That could never be the truth
So upset that I had failed to notice all the signs
You felt despondent
Left alone without a clue
How to crack the combination of a fucked up mind
After all of times that I barely replied
To all the things you were excited about
I let work fill my mind
And lost sight of the time
And told myself that I would text tomorrow
And then I never did
Caught up in work again
There is no reason that I shouldn’t have set it aside
Now it’s so evident
It was just selfishness
You deserve to feel appreciated
And while I’m being honest
Im sure I’d feel the same
If we traded places and you left me out to dry
If you were unresponsive
I would feel so jaded too
You were absolutely right
It’s my faultthat I slid Into old habits
Shut myself off from the rest of the world
Should have welcomed you in and gave you precedence
I was convinced that you’d feel overwhelmed
Im still learning how to be an open book when I’m down
I just want you to know, I understand if you go
I’d give up all I own, just to see you happy
I know that we have talked and worked it all out,
But I can’t help but hate how I almost dragged us both down
History is doomed to repeat
Unless mistakes turn in to lessons that we swear to keep
And never lose
I’d give it all just to rid
You of your sadness
To keep us both in sync with the world
Swear to welcome you in and give you precedence
In fact I’d trust you to take over the helm
I have learned now how tobe an open book when I’m down
I just want you to know, no matter how this goes
I’d give up everything
Just to make you happy
Who says that we can’t be happy?
I couldn't possibly have found this song at a more perfect time in my life. Feeling this immensely with tears welling up and a lump in my throat.
To quote an amazing band: "Today i've finally learned to say 'I love myself'". Thanks for your service, Free Throw!
This hits close to home. Thank you, I was able to verbalize my errors to my wife today because this helped me to understand how even my cold text responses have consequences and can effect people. Pain makes us selfish, but this is a reminder to fight that. Just because my life is hectic at work doesn't mean I shouldn't make time for her. Its not her fault work is stressful, she is my sanctuary, I shouldn't trash the alter of our love with feelings of apathy.
Yo am I crazy or is this a bunch of Chrono trigger references
Very likely, as they have Pokemon references on all their albums. One of the reasons that makes me dig these dudes so much
