it's been a long, long time since you went away
and i've been thinking 'bout you every day
after you left me, i wandered the street
you wouldn't like all the people i meet
but you left me here all alone, my dear
you left me here, and i'm sad
since you've been gone, i'm starting to feel
nothing is with me, and nothing is real
it's an awakening of sorts to start to see
that how i love you's not the way that you love me
you left me here, and i'm sad
i've found a place you can't see
where i can go where you can't hurt me
you always knew we'd be
perfect but not, at least we both agree
sitting alone, i've lost all my nerve
you might believe it's what i deserve
but there is no shame in wanting you for mine alone
i was convinced that we could finally move on
if you came back, i'd probably wish that you were gone
you left me here, and i'm sad.
Great, thrashing, melodic indie rock from this Illinois group that juxtaposes sugary vocal hooks with barbed guitars. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2022
