lyrics

I welcome the distraction of the season
focus my attention on the giving without receiving
I’ll drink without anybody questioning my intent
watch everybody drown their sorrows til every quids been spent

I’m happier this time around but I still feel last years’ ache
and I’m grateful for the new perspective that bleeds out from mistakes
and now that I can keep myself warm
I don’t think i want to any more

It’s easier to be alone
and force myself to keep letting go
of things and people that could break my heart
Make it stop before I let it start

I keep seeing faces that I haven’t seen since school
I wonder if any of them still speak to you
or if they know what you did back then still twists my stomach and fucks with my head
it’s strange how things I thought I’d forget
still have such a lasting effect

Memories return with seasons
when every year meets its end I begin counting reasons
reasons to be glad I’m still here, reasons to keep my loved ones near, reasons to apologise, reasons to reluctantly cut ties

It’s easier to be alone
and force myself to keep letting go
of things and people that could break my heart
Stop myself before I let it start


Nothing really matters
but it the end, maybe it does
I’ll be better next year and i won’t save myself from love

This time I’ll stay open
let myself feel everything
won’t leave a word unspoken,
the best things in life are bittersweet
the best things in life are never free from misery
