about

I wrote this song with my friend Mark McCarthy who I was in a band called Fordham Road with. This song dives into the anxieties that arise towards the end of a relationship and having to accept the inevitable pain.

lyrics

Waiting up for you at 2:28
Listening for that familiar ping
Nothing's gonna change
My nightstand's keeping quiet
My heart's funding like a drum
Waiting for those words
Knowing you'll say we're done

So I'll let it burn, let it burn
'Cause I can't keep holding on
I'm gonna hurt, gonna hurt
Was I in the wrong?
They say love fades to grey
But your silence detonates
Walking through the ashes of our words
Oh let it burn

I wonder how's your day?
Are you thinking 'bout be at all?
Waiting for a sign any word
Ghostly vibes and no replies
Where you ever really there
So I'll strike a match and kick it back
And try not to care

I'll let it burn, let it burn
'Cause I can't keep holding on
I'm gonna hurt, gonna hurt
Was I in the wrong?
They say love fades to grey
But your silence detonates
Walking through the ashes of our words
I'll let it burn

I can't tame the flames of sorrow
I can only watch all we've built burn

So I'll let it burn, let it burn
I must be moving on
I'm gonna hurt, gonna hurt
Was I in the wrong?
They say love fades to grey
But your silence detonates
Walking through the ashes of our words
I'll let it burn
Let it burn
