I needed you,
which you knew.
Love, like rent, is due—
but you still flew

away from this place,
gone without a trace.
This, I must embrace.
Before I show face

Heartbroken in the Six
you are back in the mix -
out in another’s pics?
Damn that’s a quick switch

Guess it's the name of the game
Can’t believe you’d leave for a lame
Crazy what you’d do for fame—
hell, I’d probably do the same

But that’s a lie to numb the ache
Prosecco love we knew was fake
A cheap confession I shouldn't make,
back when my heart was at stake

How do we keep swinging between brief and forever
Back and forth like a tennis player

You shot at the net, looking for love
Heart hit the line, they called it out from above

Too many faults, how are we supposed to rally
Take me back to them late nights in Cali

You serve insults on the backhand like Novak
Old wounds return in my mind like a throwback

Love through 4 seasons, never needed luxury
Somehow made a Grand Slam out of broken company

Guess love means nothing when you’re keeping the score
Funny how heartbreak creates strangers we adore

Happy faces, sad faces,
They say good attitudes will take you places

That attitude works until life gets detrimental
Missing when good times & smiles felt sentimental

Back when a quick text felt like it was special
Before the weight of your world felt existential

How can it be, before you and me
23 was carefree, I think you’d agree

Life hits hard, what do you make of it
Crocodile tears, even I’m afraid of it

Turn back to the bottle like the game that spins it
Emotions buried in that closet now my soul feels distant

Warning shots were fired back at hooligans
Now you got me feeling just like a fool again

Maybe this new attitude will take me places
Funny how fast happy turns to sad faces

Happy faces, sad faces,
They say good attitudes will take you places

That attitude works until life gets detrimental
Missing when good times & smiles felt sentimental

How lucky we are to wake up today
Life changes in a second, next we decay

We become accustomed to good health
Like billionaires living with infinite wealth

We take for granted all of life’s joys
With a sudden accident, it all destroys

Why does it take a life altering action
For the concept of mortality to gain some traction

Some will learn, others will never
But once it’s over you’re gone forever

So be thankful as you wake today
Because we never know when it’ll be stripped away

How lucky we are to wake up today
Life changes in a second, next we decay

We become accustomed to good health
Like billionaires living with infinite wealth

We take for granted all of life’s joys
With a sudden accident, it all destroys

Why does it take a life altering action
For the concept of mortality to gain some traction

Some will learn, others will never
But once it’s over you’re gone forever

So be thankful as you wake today
Because we never know when it’ll be stripped away

One day you feel invincible
The next, you’re invisible

Strongest when you’re next to me
Addicted to your love like ecstasy

Cracks in the armour now fractured
Realized your love is manufactured

Rose coloured flesh and heartbreak
Warmth disappeared like a snowflake

Pieces of the armour have mended
Through every wound your suffering intended

Left the broken parts of me invisible
Somehow came back invincible

One day you feel invincible
The next, you’re invisible

Strongest when you’re next to me
Addicted to your love like ecstasy

Cracks in the armour now fractured
Realized your love is manufactured

Rose coloured flesh and heartbreak
Warmth disappeared like a snowflake

Pieces of the armour have mended
Through every wound your suffering intended

Left the broken parts of me invisible
Somehow came back invincible

Would you cry if I left you forever
Or would your world grow light as a-feather

Maybe without me you could finally see
What life could be if you were truly free

Fly away now you’re as free as a bird
Funny how goodbyes can feel so absurd

You circled back and are here to stay?
Even after all I’ve done to push you away

Here I am crying wishing that you’d stay forever
Turns out my world was never light as a-feather

Would you cry if I left you forever
Or would your world grow light as a-feather

Maybe without me you could finally see
What life could be if you were truly free

Fly away now you’re as free as a bird
Funny how goodbyes can feel so absurd

You circled back and are here to stay?
Even after all I’ve done to push you away

Here I am crying wishing that you’d stay forever
Turns out my world was never light as a-feather

I miss that version of you that made me feel like a kid again
Before life and adulthood took over — it hasn’t felt the same since then

The pressures of the world have been weighing on you
I can tell by the way our plans fall through

What has happened? I miss the old you
Do you hate me now? Is this the conclusion you’ve come to

How can I go on without you, you’re all I know
Maybe this is just part of life - we outgrow

Stress, anxiety and depression
Oh how it’s left a lasting impression

Not a day goes by that I don’t miss the old you
But instead I tip my glass and drink to

The version of you that has changed so much
Just promise me we will stay In touch

I guess this is goodbye and see you again
Is what I said but then ……
