Erase U
Echoes of Love Lost: Erasing You in Melodic Memories
Lyrics
I've tried not writing so many songs about you
I have attempted to avoid writing numerous songs about you.
Thinking I could sing away
Believing that singing could serve as a way to distance myself.
Like I could erase you
As if I could eliminate your presence from my thoughts and emotions.
Could erase you, yeah
Expressing the desire to erase you from my life.
Could erase you, yeah, yeah
Repeating the notion of wanting to erase you.
Put all my feelings in a box and ship away
Packing all my emotions in a box and sending them away.
All the things I ever thought but couldn't say
Sending away thoughts that I never verbalized.
Gave me just enough so I'd never stray
Receiving just enough from you to keep me from straying.
Wanted me to want you but you not want me
You wanted me to desire you without reciprocation.
Just my memory
Reduced to just memories.
Just not you and me
Not about us anymore.
Just what we could be
Imagining what we could have been.
Just a fantasy
An illusion, a mere fantasy.
Just the best of me
Only the best parts of me.
Just my sanity
Retaining my sanity.
Twisted history
A distorted history between us.
Unsolved mystery to me
Our relationship remains an unsolved mystery to me.
I'll never get to say what I should've said
Regret for not expressing what I should have said.
I'll never get to be the one who left
I will never be the one who chose to leave.
Who left you on read, who left you instead
Unable to ignore or respond, abandoning communication.
Put all my feelings in a box and ship away
Repeating the act of packing and sending away emotions.
All the things I ever thought but couldn't say
Reiterating unspoken thoughts sent away.
Gave me just enough so I'd never stray
Receiving just enough to prevent straying.
Wanted me to want you but you not want me
Desiring me to want you without reciprocation.
I can't even blame you
Acknowledging that blame cannot be solely placed on you.
Cause I just let you
I allowed you into my life without resistance.
Come in and walk through
You entered and left an imprint in the recesses of my mind.
Now you stay in the corners of my head
Your presence lingers in the corners of my thoughts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Repeating an acknowledgment of your presence.
Whiskey sippin' listening to hear my name
Engaging in whiskey consumption while hoping to hear my name.
My mind's faded, I feel jaded, times been waste
Feeling mentally exhausted and wasted over time.
Thanks for watching
An expression of gratitude or acknowledgment for witnessing the situation.
