about

it's hard to write about sad relationships without your SO feeling nervous about your own relationship

sometimes I feel like i'm being hypocritical when i write these things because i have such a healthy strong relationship but I write about such dismal things

this was written from the perspective of someone who wrestles with a similar dynamic

lyrics

i know all your signs
i know all your tells
i know whats in your hands
and i know it gives you hell
that you thought that tonight would last forever

ive been in that ring
ive fought that same fight
i know what wakes you up
and keeps you up in bed all night
it's the thought that things they wont get better

then you held my hands
looked me in the eyes
said i'm not an addict
i can quit at any point
you'll always see

im not hiding from the pain
im embracing it
youll see
it helps me

she says you say youre so lonely
but your feelings theyre unsubstantiated
she says you say youre so lonely
but at this point i think youre full of it
she says you say youre so lonely

but ive been here the whole time
