about

I released this song back in March, but it never reached Bandcamp or other streaming platforms! This song deals with friendships or relationships that are one-sided, but too hard to leave.

lyrics

This place never looked as dark
As it does right now
This place never felt so scared of
Holding me now

Every piece of me
You ask for is all I see
What you get from me
Will set you free

But I've lost my mind
No more skin to lend
Be on my best behavior 'till this all ends
I've lost my mind
All my faith's been spent
Be on my best behavior 'till this all ends
'Till this all ends

This place never felt so small
As is does right now
Searching for what you took from me in
Every empty crowd
Every move I make
Picked apart 'till you have it your way
You'll never know my war

But I've lost my mind
No more skin to lend
Be on my best behavior 'till this all ends
I've lost my mind
All my faith's been spent
Be on my best behavior 'till this all ends
'Till this all ends

When the world came crashing down on
The forgotten days
I was the first to see
You cry
When the black came down to take you away
I was there
By your side

But the day is over
When you call it a night
Come time for me,
it's a one-girl fight

(But I've lost my mind
No more skin to lend
Be on my best behavior 'till this all ends
I've lost my mind
All my faith's been spent
Be on my best behavior 'till this all ends
'Till this all ends)
