Lyrics
Recursive Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To love and to lose has been my refrain
Just when i think i've found hope i lose it again.
Friends become lovers then become friends,
The players pass but the feelings stay the same.
Hold the bitter taste in my mouth,
I don't want forget, don't want to spit it out.
The pain can only last for so long.
A sweetness lingers after it's gone.
Take it all on board as i go through life,
Those loves are all that i know.
I'm the sum of everyone, i hold on
To the memories after the people are gone.
Hold the bitter taste in my mouth,
I don't want forget, don't want to spit it out.
The pain can only last for so long.
A sweetness lingers after it's gone.
The start of something new in the end.
We all get to try this love again.
Like characters who all switch place,
I'll wipe the tears from my face.
Your heart is made from the places it's been.
Mine's been through a lot and the state that i'm in
That i've lived through a loss and been fine,
Gives me hope that tomorrow the sun will still shine.
Hold the bitter taste in my mouth,
I don't want forget, don't want to spit it out.
The pain can only last for so long.
A sweetness lingers after it's gone.
Watching the waves of my life wash to shore.
The pattern they take can't fool me anymore.
I want to feel it all because i know things change.
I want to get wet before i come in from the rain.
Hold the bitter taste in my mouth,
I don't want forget, don't want to spit it out.
The pain can only last for so long.
A sweetness lingers after it's gone.
A change of perspective not one of place.
The memories mean too much to erase.
The seasons turn to come back again.
I still love him but i want it that way.
The start of something new in the end.
We all get to try this love again.
Like characters who all switch place,
I'll wipe the tears from my face.
I remember our love like it was yesterday.
The notes score my heart like the charts from a play.
I don't have to let go to move on in my way.
I look back as i grow and i know that it's okay.
It's okay
