about

Important to say that these lyrics are not based on my personal experience! They are based on an abusive, toxic and imbalanced relationship. The guitar riff and bulk of the lyrics are something I've been playing around with for a long time now, but the aggresive chorus felt like it gave the song the jagged edge and the contrast it needed.

lyrics

How could you
How could you treat someone like that
I'll never know
How could you say that
we're forwards when we're backwards
I'm not your palindrome
And I never was

How could you
How could you mistake me for a moment
No, I was never enough
What a reason to say goodbye

I never said it, it started from way inside
I realised I relied on all your lies
Never read it as a reason to say
Goodbye
I always thought we were written in to the stars
I never thought you'd dig a tunnel that led to Mars
I should've seen it as a reason to say
Goodbye
Goodbye

How could you
How could you frame yourself in oil
How you've changed
No, you'll never remember when you played me
You were the snake on the ladder
I can almost imagine it fall

I never said it, it started from way inside
I realised I relied on all your lies
Never read it as a reason to say
Goodbye
I always thought we were written in to the stars
I never thought you'd dig a tunnel that led to Mars
I should've seen it as a reason to say
Goodbye
Goodbye

The longest days
Flown by
Now we say
