West Coast
Breaking Free: West Coast Vibes by Kristen Bales
Lyrics
I moved out to the West Coast
I relocated to the West Coast
Took a bow from a tight rope
Took a break from a challenging situation
To forget how your eyes looked
Trying to forget the way your eyes looked at mine
Back at mine
Reflecting on a past connection
I was walking a thin line
Navigating a difficult situation
Took its toll, but I'm alright
It was tough, but I am okay now
Finally sleeping through the night
Finally achieving peaceful sleep
Yeah, I'll be fine
Expressing confidence in being fine
No more memories to make
No more moments to create
No more smiles to give or fake
No more genuine or fake smiles to share
No I don't even need
Not even needing a farewell
a goodbye
Indifference to goodbyes
Who said I needed you
Questioning the necessity of the other person
Like you needed me, too?
Comparing needs in the relationship
They say it's give or take
Emphasizing the give-and-take dynamic
But you always take the truth
Accusing the other of consistently taking the truth
And I'd tell you how I feel
Expressing a desire to communicate feelings
But you never make a move
Highlighting the other's lack of action
Oh honey you're old news, and I'm moving on from you
Declaring the person as outdated, moving on
I broke glass when you called me
Reacting strongly to a phone call
Felt the heat from the ashes
Felt the intensity of emotions
Tried to lean on an old flame
Attempted to seek comfort in a past relationship
But there's no time
Realizing there's no time for that
No, you can't lean on me anymore
Declaring emotional unavailability
I've closed all of the screen doors
Closing off opportunities for connection
Took a sip to forget yours
Using a drink to forget the past
Yeah, I'll be fine
Reiterating confidence in being fine
No more glimmer from your eye
No more sparkle or attraction in your gaze
No more talking late at night
No more late-night conversations
No don't try to tell me, goodbye
Rejecting attempts to bid farewell
