Listen Back |
The whole point of me recording right now |
Is to hold myself accountable for the feelings I still feel |
I thought it was over, thought I was moving forward |
But I guess that’s why I have this, to show me what’s real |
The perils of keepings your ex-wife's phone in your possession |
You’re only really saying you’ve put the past to rest |
It is all too easy to feed your old obsession |
You wanna prove you’re moved on, let’s put it to the test |
So I turn on my speakers, plug them in to the jack |
But I wasn’t prepared for how it’d feel to listen back |
It was a painful little listen back |
I had a little listen back |
My first and last listen back |
And I heard you cry |
And I heard 3 minutes of unfiltered honesty |
I realized I still love you |
Tonight I heard 3 distant voices |
A trio of myself saying goodbye |
I turned over in bed, torn apart by past choices |
Time to check the record, the record wouldn’t lie |
So I slipped out of bed, made myself a small snack |
And I put on my headphones and had another listen back |
It was a painful little listen back |
I had a little listen back |
That was my last listen back |
And I heard us fight, but I was a coward |
And I ran away again, that wasn’t right |
And I can’t afford to be a coward anymore |
Another part of adulting is admitting when you’re wrong |
And doing the hard thing you need to do for yourself |
For 8 years I tried to tell myself stay strong |
As the guilty of what I’d done destroyed my mental health |
You all know what I’m holding and what I just completed |
Though hearing my own voice has never felt this strange |
You were right to leave the record, you were right to give me distance |
Something deep inside of me is ready now to change |
This time when I listened, I only made it through half |
Because with 16 answers of mine missing, I can’t just listen back |
It’s not enough to listen back |
I can’t just listen back |
I have to do more than listen back |
It’s not enough to listen back |
I can’t just listen back |
I have to do more than listen back |
