Description
It's as if you're standing in the middle of a room that was recently noisy, but now there's only silence and a trace of a mug on the table. Everything still smells familiar, but now it feels foreign. It's as if nothing terrible has happened - someone just changed their mind about love, and now everything around you is ringing with awkwardness. The melody spreads like late rain - not loud, but insistent, forcing you to replay the details: where exactly did it all go wrong, when tenderness became a duty and warmth became a habit. And that makes you feel a little ashamed, a little empty, and very honest.
Lyrics and translation
Original
You were my worst time. You were the shoreline. You were the crash and now
I break.
Gave you my best days. Gave you the deep pain. Gave you, I gave you, I gave you,
I gave you, I. Am I what you wanted? Was I self-appointed?
I slowly moved into your house.
All of my dark blue, covered it for you, but I'm just so embarrassed now.
And you did all that I wouldn't do, erasing lines around us.
I held my head, I used to hold you, but now I'll walk around us. And I can't lie and claim confused when
I know just what happened.
You got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it.
What did I ask for, that I now pay for? Would it have killed you to explain?
That you weren't ready, and you nearly told me, and still I gave you, I gave you, I gave you, I. My honest commitment, I sat and listened.
I was your floorboard holding it down.
You went off running, away from something, that I have nothing to do with now.
And you did all that I'd never do, erasing time around us.
I held my breath, I used to hold you, but now I'll walk around us.
And could you not deny the truth? 'Cause I know just what happened.
You got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it. When did you slip through my fingers?
Did I ever have you?
Was I just a placeholder to fill the hole inside you?
I've been feeling sick, but I should help myself, not call you.
Nothing left to say 'cause you're not over her now, are you?
And you did all that I wouldn't do, erasing lines around us.
I held my head, I used to hold you, but now I'll walk around us.
And I won't lie and claim confused when I know just what happened.
You got bored and I felt used, now I'm all sad about it. Oh, you got bored and I felt used, now
I'm all sad about it. Oh, you got bored and
I felt used, now I'm all sad about it.
Oh, you got bored and I felt used, now that I'm so sad about it.
