You’re disappointed
Thanks for pointing that out
Subtle little way you have of putting me down
Felt like nails down a chalkboard
I’m trying to figure out
What’s so special ‘bout your life that I have to get out
You reap the embers of the life you sow
Hey, I like me
And I got friends that like me too
Things that make me happy, I do
Why is it the life I live I can no longer share with you
When so much of me came from you oh oh
So many things about us that we’ll never know
So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go
What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no
In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.
So I’ll live without you
See if I care
‘Cause even when you were around
You weren’t really there
You have run your last head game
You’re out of my hair
Even though I kinda liked
Yeah even though I kinda liked having you there
So many things about us that we’ll never know
So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go
What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no
In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.
But I wanna thank you for the places that the two of us went
They remain a part of me still
As do many of the things I am and the things I wanna be
Cause I am you and you are
So many things about us that we’ll never know
So many things we missed ‘cause you decided to go
What you plant just withers if you don’t help it to grow oh no
In the dust you reap the embers of the life you sow.
