about

I Thought That You Wouldn't Be There - Is about being let down by someone that you love, through contradictory messaging and the betrayal of trust; but also the literal sense of someone not showing up.

lyrics

I Thought That You Wouldn't Be There

Please don't define me
You know life's a little blurry
We both know that you like dark ambiguity

Had a dream
You hated me
We both know that's obscene
But haven't seen you in weeks

That's alright
I won't sleep tonight
Now that life's over
A weight off my shoulder

Please don't be central
You sometimes have potential
We both know I can be so cruel

Met you
Somewhere
Had to show me you care
Sat in the shower and watched it fall

That's alright
I won't cry tonight
The weight off my shoulder
Replaced by another

That's alright
I won't sleep tonight
Now that's life's over
A weight off my shoulder

That's alright
I won't sleep tonight
Now that's life's over
A weight off my shoulder

That's alright
I won't sleep tonight
The weight off my shoulder
Replaced by another
