about

This isn't a break up song! This is an acceptance song! This is progress, process, and patience.
( This is also just the first draft)

lyrics

I am admitting to
Liking sleeping alone
Yeah, arms sure might feel nice
woah oh oh oh, but so does the cool of my pillow
(woah oh oh oh...)
I am admitting to myself
I've always kinda been somewhere else
And if you admire from so far away
How could you, How could you have anything good to say?

I wonder what I will learn next
I wonder what I've been withholding
I wonder why I hadn't noticed
Where I had been and
Where I was going

Finding new pieces of glass on the tile
( And we thought )
Thought we were in the clear for a while
I'm just picking up my pieces
No, Not separating
Yours just fell so close to mine
(woah oh oh oh...)
There are few definitive answers
and there are so many variables
that when I get to writing em down
I feel completely different
and raw

I wonder what I will learn next
I wonder what I've been withholding
I wonder why I hadn't noticed
Where I had been and
Where I was going

And all of my constraints
wont always feel this way
oh they will fluctuate
I know
So how will we celebrate
6 days without talking straight
you think I might take a break
I wont

So I wonder what I should learn next
I wonder what I've been withholding
I wonder If I will find out
Where I am and where I am going
Where I am and where I am going
Where I am and where I am going
(Where am I and where am I going)
