about

The end of a relationship can leave you feeling haunted.

I wrote this song at one of the darkest points in my entire life. For a long time, I wouldn't even play it alone in my house because I couldn't get through it without crying.

When I decided to take the leap and record my first EP, I didn't plan on recording this song. I thought it was too raw, too emotional. Luckily, a couple of friends convinced me otherwise. They told me how much the song meant to them, and I decided to put myself out there and do it. I'm so glad I did, because it ended up being my favorite track on the EP.

The truth is, good art requires vulnerability. In this song, I'm basically reading you my diary with a melody attached. I'm letting you see into the depths of my soul. I hope it means something to you, because it certainly means something to me.

lyrics

This is the longest I’ve been without talking to you since the day we met
Trying to make coffee in our French press for two just for me


And I can’t take your towel off the rack yet

I’ll leave your toothbrush right where it is


I found the first note you wrote me,
I doubled over heavin

A wounded animal screamin

I love you and I’m leavin



Two years with you as close as my skin
Every night you were there when I walked in

Woke up every mornin curled under your chin

Now you’ve walked out the door
don’t even know where you’ve been

And I’m 

drowning, drowning

Yeah I’m drowning, drowning



This is the longest I’ve been without touching you since the night we kissed

Can’t pass that door without thinking of your lips on mine


And I can’t take down that picture of us

I’m haunting our house, the ghost of what was


I’m talking about you in the past tense

It doesn’t make any goddamn sense

I misplaced all my confidence
Was I wrong or was it self-defense?



Crying so hard I forget how to breathe,
Choking on all of our good memories

Don’t even know who I am when you’re not with me
That’s the price that we pay for codependency

And I’m 

drowning, drowning,

Yeah I’m drowning, drowning



Because boundaries are the distance at which
I can love you and still love myself

Yeah boundaries are the distance at which
I can love you and still love myself


But I don’t love myself right now
I just want you back

I don’t love myself right now
I just want you back, want you back

I don’t love myself right now
I just want you back

I don’t love myself right now
I just want to take it all back


Two years with you as close as my skin
Every night you were there when I walked in

Woke up every mornin curled under your chin

Now you’ve walked out the door
don’t even know where you’ve been

And I’m 

drowning, drowning

Yeah I’m drowning, drowning
