Albatross
Eternal Echoes: Navigating Love's Turbulence in Clint Wells' Albatross
Lyrics
Lift me up out of this albatross
Lift me up out of this burden or heavy weight
Send me flying through the stars
Take me soaring among the celestial bodies
Far away from all that we lost
To a distant place away from everything we've lost
How'd it get so hard?
Why did it become so difficult?
To reach across this bed of stone
To bridge this emotional distance or separation
Or to hold you in my arms
Or simply to embrace you closely
We turned fire into ashes and bones
We've turned our passionate love into ruin and decay
In an endless war
In an ongoing, relentless conflict
You can't say I didn't warn you up front
Not denying that I warned you beforehand
I always showed you who I was
I always revealed my true self to you
So if you've gone and given up on us
If you've chosen to abandon our relationship
Don't lie and say it never was love
Don't falsify and claim it was never love
It was magic and you know it was
It was something extraordinary, and you recognize it
We just used it up
We simply exhausted it, depleted its energy
We just used it up
We completely consumed it
There's no shame in battles lost
There's no disgrace in losing conflicts
Long as both sides show up
As long as both parties were present and engaged
There's no way to measure out the cost
There's no precise way to quantify the price
Of a dying love
Of a love that's fading away
But you can't say I didn't warn you up front
Still, you cannot deny my forewarnings
No, I always showed you who I was
Once again emphasizing that I never hid my true self
So if you've gone and given up on love
If you've chosen to abandon love entirely
Don't lie and say it always was tough
Don't falsify and say it was always difficult
It was magic and you know it was
It held something magical, and you acknowledge it
We just used it up
We simply exhausted it, depleted its energy
Oh, albatross
Oh, burden or heavy weight
Oh, albatross
-Oh, albatross
-You can't say you never saw it up front
You cannot claim ignorance about my nature
The cloth that I was cut out from
The background or origin that shaped me
So if you've gone and given up on us
If you've chosen to abandon our relationship
Don't lie and say it never was love
Don't falsify and claim it was never love
It was magic and you know it was
It held something magical, and you acknowledge it
We just used it up
We simply exhausted it, depleted its energy
We just used it up
We completely consumed it
We just used it up
-We just used it up
