Lyrics

If you happen to hear this

If you hear this message

Know that I’ve taken those words to heart

Acknowledging that the words mentioned have deeply affected me

My mind is so sick of fighting against itself

Struggling with internal conflicts and mental exhaustion

And I

Expressing a personal state of being

Well I am looking forward to change

Anticipating and desiring positive change in the future


Just pull me closer

Seeking emotional closeness

While living in the absence of your touch

Feeling the absence of physical connection

This bed feels so much colder

Perceiving emotional coldness in the surroundings

Than I remember in the dead of the winter

Comparing current emotional state to a colder memory

The morning brought on mourning

Morning symbolizing sorrow or loss

A blessed funeral for the change

Celebrating change despite pain

I’m am broken

Feeling emotionally shattered

I am guilty

Acknowledging guilt


Forgive me

Requesting forgiveness

You were right

Accepting someone else's correctness

All this time

Realizing the duration of mistakes

I let this loss control my life

Letting loss control life

And denied myself any once of bliss that I could find.

Denying personal happiness due to loss

I promise

Promising future well-being

That some day

Expressing hope for eventual recovery

I will be just fine

Confidence in personal healing


Well I regret everything I said

Regretting past statements

And I have to live with it

Accepting consequences and living with regret

Maybe one day I’ll learn see

Hoping for future learning and self-love

That love should start with me

Realizing the importance of self-love in relationships


This Guilt is what I’ve lived with

Guilt as a persistent companion

A trait I’ve learned in youth

Learned guilt from a young age

It’s been gnawing at my ears and screams

Guilt causing internal turmoil

It’s all because you

Attributing guilt to another person

Now when I think of home

Feeling loneliness when thinking of home

It sounds so lonely to me

Home evoking a sense of isolation

Yet no one knows

Unrecognized emotional struggles

How coming home

Homecoming feeling like personal demise

Felt like the end of me

Emotional struggle associated with returning home


You’ve made it easy to love again,

Expressing the ease of loving again

Because nothing will hurt like losing you

Emphasizing the pain of losing the person

I should have never left

Regretting the decision to leave


I am gold, still yearning to shine

Symbolizing personal value and potential

Still searching for sunlight

Continuing the search for positivity

I am gold still yearning to shine

Striving for self-improvement without hiding

No curtain to hide behind

Choosing transparency over concealment


I have grown so tired of fighting against myself

Tired of internal struggles hindering progress

Preventing progress, preventing any sort of happiness

Recognizing hindrance to personal growth and happiness

All in the name love. When honest love can’t be given

Highlighting the importance of self-love in relationships

Without first loving myself.

Emphasizing the necessity of self-love before giving it to others
