about

This song is about a relationship that ended in a healthy way, and how that seems to make it harder to accept that it's over. There isn't a single moment that you can blame. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.

lyrics

I'm stripping back the texture just like Tony Sly
An acoustic guitar and jumbled thoughts of you and I
And of the phone call where you broke down and cried
And how since that day I've just felt numb inside

Ceschi singing Sad, Fat, Luck put it best
"your loss has been my biggest expense yet"
Whether screaming along in my car, or laying still in my bed
Those 8 words still haven't left my head

My bright future isn't looking so bright now

Is it weird that I almost wish it ended badly?
Because at least there would be something to blame
But instead you fell out of love it came naturally
It's awful knowing there's nothing we can change

Now I'm emotionally drained, numb from the strain and the pain
Wanting to erase your name from my brain, but it's in vain,
I feel insane, just want to hear your voice again but I know it will only bring me more pain
Because you're well on your way down a path that doesn't include my name

My bright future isn't looking so bright now
Right now it feels like the sun's blocked out by a sad storm cloud
As cheesy as that sounds it's the only way I can describe knowing you won't come around
But I want to see how far you fly without me holding you down

A song about a break up is the best way to get stuck in the past
And right now the past is where I want to be
Should I send you this song when the recording is done?
Or is that just the last thing you need?

My bright future isn't looking so bright now
Right now it feels like the sun's blocked out by a sad storm cloud
As cheesy as that sounds it's the only way I can describe knowing you won't come around
But I want to see how far you fly without me holding you down
