song lyrics

beloved b,

I came across this post from several few weeks ago. It was unpublished. I thought perhaps I should work towards changing that.

Looking over the words printed here, I vaguely remember frantically copying the lyrics of this song down while I was working. At the time, I had two computer screens activated for my day job, and I had my laptop open and playing music as it usually does throughout the day. One of my recent digital “mixtapes” was playing through and this song came on.

I half listen to lyrics as I work, but on this occasion, the words ripped through the rigidity of my chest and squeezed all the air out of my lungs and yanked each string of my heart out.

Of course this whole ordeal made me think of you. But you wouldn’t know that these days. You don’t know me anymore.

The truth is, we don’t know each other. We don’t call each other up when we hear great new songs, nor do we send each other pictures when try on new outfits for upcoming events. I guess we found new people to fill these roles. You had always been my go to person…my best friend and my confidante.

As the sun sets on each day, I hope you know that I always think of you when there are good lyrics. In my heart, I believe you think of me too.

all my love, e

I hope you're well
I know it's been a while
But there's no one else who's felt the same way that I do
Nobody better than you

You know what it's like
To think you've solved the whole rest of your life
And, out of the blue, like an earthquake
Everything's gone overnight

'Cause somebody did to me what I did to you
Now I can say I understand
How it feels to be the one that didn't choose
To throw away all of our plans

And it hurts like hell
So I hope you're doing well

You cancelled your flight
I offered to pay for it to make it alright
As if I could help with the blindside
And that was the last time we talked

I found someone else
But I didn't tell you 'cause I told myself
"Don't make it hurt more than it has to"
But either way, I broke your heart

And somebody did to me what I did to you
Now I can say I understand
How it feels to be the one that didn't choose
To throw away all of our plans

And it hurts like hell (mm-mmh)
So I hope you're doing

Better than I am, I'm falling apart
How do you bounce back from a broken heart?
And I'm three years late, but I'm sorry

'Cause somebody did to me what I did to you
Now I can say I understand
How it feels to be the one that didn't choose
To throw away all of our plans

And it hurts like hell
To feel what you felt
I hope you're doing well
