Never Knows Best

"We accept the love we think we deserve."

"Can we make them know that they deserve more?"

"We can try."

It's not that I still feel her

But the emptiness remains

But I found a way to fight against the current

That caught me in her wake

This isn't a lesson in heartbreak, just in how it fades

And what I'd give to once again be a stranger to your face

As we pave the floor to cover the tracks

The past is out of focus, it's the force at my back

Fuck

I swear I never loved you at all

I swear I never loved you at all

The days I spent dreaming

Daydreaming, believing

Give me just a moment of your time

Let me follow the contours of your spine

Denial

I stare into the blight and see you're the poison

I'll show you, I'll do this, I'll make you believe

Your life won't be a memory even to me

All of the months that you kept me in fear

Gaslighting, blaming and faking your tears

Now that I can walk across the ocean floor

Aided by the weight of the steps that carry me

Now I'm so much better than I was before

Reaching for the hand that manifests destiny

I lost whatever I thought love was

But now I can see it starts with me

The days I spent dreaming

Daydreaming, believing

Give me just a moment of your time

Let me follow the contours of your spine

Denial

No, I've held on long enough

It's time to let you go and I'm so much better off
