Eleanor (LSLP '21) Lyrics

I could feel it in the west wind

Something was about to happen

In the morning she'd be leaving for good

It wasn't romance, wasn't passion

Was something real and it was different

But all the things it was it wasn't enough

Eleanor, I never knew you

Although I tried to

I should have let you go

The day you left me here to cry

I know I should've seen the warnings

That in your head these thoughts were forming

If I had just taken a moment to stop

I really should've seen it coming

When you wouldn't say you loved me

After I had said once and again and again and again

But Eleanor, I know I hurt you

I didn't want to

I cannot let you go

Though I'm the one who made you cry

Eleanor I'm changing, I promise

So please just be patient

Oh, Eleanor

You taught me a lesson

You made me better

I finally let you go

And I will never make her cry

Eleanor, can you forgive me?

I know it's been years

If you could see me now would you be proud?
