Lyric Drafts:
You drink in the morning
the birds are still calling
We watch you fall all the way down again
Oh I’m still in morning
That you won’t even call in
When I say I’m getting bad again
these lyrics focus around the grief around seeing someone self distruct and the emotional weight it puts on you, but you can’t reach out to them for help anymore.
There’s also a double meaning in morning/mourning with adds depth. The lyrics are influenced by intimate indie pop and confessional song writing.
I saw him at the station
I called there name
I was sober they where drunk
We’re not the same
I said oh god I hate you
Your not my type
I was just there for you,
there for just one night
I said that I’ve moved
And found someone new
Some one I fell for
Critically not you
Your absolutely perfect
not inside but out
I felt that I could love you
But couldn’t stand the bout
Now I know, now I know
The Road was so long
Till I saw you move on
I never saw the photographs
We took that night
All your words so cencire
Cut like a knife
These lyrics resolve around unresolved love and the pain it causes but also the emotional bitterness felt at the time, showed through lyrics like “Your absolutely perfect, not inside but out” and “I was sober, they where drunk, we’re not the same” witch mocks and belittles them for drinking.
The lyrics rely on contradiction- “Oh god I hate you”
followed by “I was just there for you”- with highlights the confusion and frustration felt at the time.
I knew you weren’t the nicest guy
But who are you, say I don’t try
Bring back how we used too
Gaze up the sky oh how I love you
Bring back the way
We used too connect
“So I kiss another guy”
“Can’t we forget”
Maby it’s time
To let… our
Our feelings pulling one way
Our heart to the left
And yet another sunrise
Can’t get any rest
“Sorry you feel this way”
“Get it off your chest”
You know I still love you
I hate how I still do
This songs about knowing a relationship is unhealthy, but still wanting the intimacy that once existed. It has themes of toxic attachment, emotional dependency, and queer longing.
This is the most honest and raw song and it’s inspired by Conan Gray and Phoebe Bridgers. what I like about this song is it says what someone could be thinking fairly well, witch is good since my aim was for the lyrics to seems emotionally venerable.
