our final goodbyes in the 19th century (a classical playlist )
Heartbreak wraps her long, thorny hands around my heart
Pricking my chest, squeezing it tighter and tighter
The rose bloomed, and now it’s dying
The breath of life, dies slowly away
With every step I take
Heartbreak tugs harder
With every ‘I love you’ and ‘I’m fine’
I lose myself even more
The girl I once knew is fading away
The guy I was once in love with seems out of reach
The things that made me happy, choke me even more
The words I write, now my only breath of life
Anxiety pulls and pushes
Heartbreak pushes and pulls
I give, they take
Soon I’ll have nothing left to give
Soon it’ll be time to say goodbye
But I don’t know if I’m ready to give up on someone I care about
You, me, them
It’s all just an endless circle of stop and start
In the end, the world goes to sleep
But my mind stays more alert than ever
My heart keeps pumping
My mind keeps dying
And soon I’ll have nothing left
And soon I’ll have no one there
And soon, staring back at me will be just unrecognisable figures
And soon I’ll have nothing to say goodbye to
