Ode Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder

If we were to slow down

Where could we have been?

But now my stomach turns

When I see your face

I cannot sleep when I am dreading

Love how you will hurt me next but

Progress is moving on

Now I've played the game

I'm not lending help

No doubt you'll look to somebody else

In the future, despite the loss

And at the end of the day

This was meant to work both ways

But when I cared for you

All I received was a blunt and annoyed face

Too much time was spent in trying to keep you satisfied

Not enough was spent in realising that this was never love at all

I don't know what's happening upstairs

But I'm willing to bet it's at my expense

The floorboards are buckling beneath the weight

And I don't dare tempt fate

I'll heal

It takes a lot to come around

But what I've lost can yet be found

Your absence might have burned me

But my fire won't be put out

But where could I have been

If I pre-read where you aimed your target

I'd have more time to run through it

The take-away from disaster

Now the tie is cut hereafter

There's now one less obstacle

From "happy ever after"

I don't know what's happening upstairs

But I'm willing to bet it's at my expense

The floorboards are buckling beneath the weight

And I don't dare tempt fate

I'll heal

And if I ever speak of love

And if I ever speak of love

And if I ever wish for love

By God I hope to not be reacquainted with this pain

Thrive on your own

Fuck

Look around, at the friends that would help you when they're not around

Your marks will fade in time

Your marks will fade in time

Your marks will fade in time
