Instead of trying to write some perfect pitch, I figured I'd just paste what I texted my honorary little sister when we were talking about this song. . ============================ . me: you know what's funny? i think the only person who actually hurt me before the truth came out... was me . soso: hwo so!? 😭 . me: i literally spent weeks driving myself crazy, making up every possible scenario... and of course my brain always picked the worst one me: every late reply, every tiny change... i'd read way too much into it . soso: girl... . me: and for what? me: none of it changed a damn thing me: the trurh was always gonna show up whenever it was gonna show up me: all i did was rob myself of my own peace . soso: damn... . me: and that's the part that actually pisses me off me: i lost all that peace over someone i ended up kicking out of my life anyway . soso: 😭😭😭 soso: you should call it peaec off 🤣🤣🤣 . me: lol exactly . ============================ . [VERSE ] Distance has this funny way Of making silence louder You say, "Goodnight" I say it too Then spend three hours Listening to everything you never said One missed call One shorter text And suddenly I'm writing endings to a story Still being lived I hate how convincing my own mind can be . [PRE-CHORUS] I'm sorry... For asking questions you never gave me reason to ask . [CHORUS] It's never what I know... It's everything I don't That's where my head starts filling all the blanks half with hope Half with fear Trying to live tomorrow... While I'm still here . [VERSE] One morning, I caught myself laughing "Come on... Just let me see you" That's all I wanted... Nothing more Then my boss walked in "You free tomorrow?" "We've got a client" Then he said your town I remember smiling Like life had answered A question I never asked out loud . [PRE-CHORUS] For one whole afternoon My mind... forgot how to run . [CHORUS] It's never what I know... It's everything I don't That's where my head starts filling all the blanks half with hope Half with fear Trying to live tomorrow... While I'm still here . [BRIDGE] The meeting finished early I bought your favourite flowers Practiced saying "I was nearby..." Like it wasn't planned Like it wasn't The happiest coincidence I'd had in months . [OUTRO] You never saw me I saw enough Enough... to stop wondering The strange part is... You didn't break me My own imagination Had already been doing that For weeks Tomorrow Was always coming Fear never changed tomorrow It only stole todaymore
