Lyrics
Would I be doing you a favour
Contemplating if leaving would be beneficial for you
if i got up and left
Questioning the impact of departure on the other person
cos i’ve been feeling for a while
Expressing a long-standing feeling that leaving might be the best choice
that it would probably be best
Suggesting a belief that leaving is a necessary decision
Yes i’ve been selfish
Acknowledging a selfish attitude and personal struggles
drowning in my own shit
Admitting to being overwhelmed by personal issues
even if i tried to help
Expressing inability to assist others due to personal struggles
i couldn’t, i’ve lost it
Acknowledging a sense of losing control
You wanna to help me too
Recognizing the desire for assistance from others
It’s all that you could ask
Stating that seeking help is a reasonable request
Sorry to be difficult
Apologizing for being challenging to deal with
I promise it’ll pass
Assuring that difficulties will eventually pass
When my place at the table
Reflecting on the loss of belonging or acceptance
is no longer set ,
Describing a situation where a place at the table is no longer assured
and post with my name on
Noting the absence of recognition in written form
can’t find this address
Imagining a place where communication is lost
At times I will miss you
Acknowledging the inevitability of missing each other
and you’ll miss me too
Anticipating mutual feelings of absence
it’s so sad, so strange
Expressing the sadness and strangeness of the situation
but true
Affirming the truth in the emotional experience
I know, you know that’s how it goes
Acknowledging the mutual understanding of the situation
and it’s hard sometimes
Recognizing the difficulty of the situation
but I’ll find a home to call my own
Expressing the commitment to finding a new place of belonging
I love you but on I go
Balancing love with the need to move forward
Should i be worried that i’ll hurt you
Considering the possibility of causing harm to the other person
when it’s what we expect
Acknowledging the expectation of emotional pain
cos it’s feeling kind of easy to be thinking what’s next
Reflecting on the ease of thinking about the future
We know what’s coming
Acknowledging the inevitability of change
and it won’t be the same
Expecting that the future won't replicate the past
but it doesn’t mean that we are gonna suddenly change
Asserting that change doesn't imply sudden transformation
When my place at the table
Reiterating the loss of a place at the table
is no longer set ,
Emphasizing the absence of recognition in written form
and post with my name on
Imagining a place where communication is lost
can’t find this address
Anticipating mutual feelings of absence
At times I will miss you
Acknowledging the inevitability of missing each other
and you’ll miss me too
Anticipating mutual feelings of absence
it’s so sad, so strange
Expressing the sadness and strangeness of the situation
but true
Affirming the truth in the emotional experience
I know, you know that’s how it goes
Acknowledging the mutual understanding of the situation
and it’s hard sometimes
Recognizing the difficulty of the situation
but I’ll find a home to call my own
Expressing the commitment to finding a new place of belonging
I love you but on I go
Balancing love with the need to move forward
I love you but on I go
Expressing love while acknowledging the need to move on
