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!? ðŸ˜
.
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: ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
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
