This is possibly the saddest song I've ever written.
Um, so this is, I know, you're like,
piece by piece, really, because of you?
Just get sadder.
By the way, I wrote like most of these songs,
like 35,000 feet in the air,
in the dark, and like on a plane,
and, you know, taking my kids back and forth,
and it was exhausting, like, emotionally, mentally, physically,
all the things, and while working,
and while really processing what's going on
and what I'm gonna do, and all these things, right?
And so I'm, I wrote this song, and I was like,
I don't think I should release this.
People are gonna be like, is she okay?
Um, and I wasn't then.
So anyway, I know, right?
I'm not alone, and everybody, unfortunately,
has probably been here, so I'm really sorry
for that in advance.
It's just, it was one of those things that just,
it's over, is like what the song kind of represents,
so don't start playing yet.
Just give me a minute to breathe.
Okay.
I [F]
need a do-over
How did we end up this [Dm] way?
I'm so confused, lover
Did I mistake love and [C] pain?
Ain't got no shine left
I couldn't hide [Bb] it
I almost lost all my [C] light, and
I [F] didn't choose sober
But my eyes can't look [Dm] away
I see our true colors
[C] Lately we've been looking gray
I can't turn back now
Cause you take me back [F] down
That road that [E] always seems to come [Gm] right back around
[Dm] We had dreams to fly away
[Bb]
[C] And now our story's just a [F] page
Like a wave you're over
It's crashing into me, [C] crashing [Dm] into me
And these days are harder than they used to be
Than they used [C] to be
No shooting stars can fix what we are to [Bb] end
What good's a lighthouse when the light is burning out?
[F]
It's such a shame when you want the needs, they don't [Dm] align
Which road to take cause your hands no longer holding mine
[C]
I guess that's life and sometimes you fight
[Bb] And sometimes you walk [E] away [Bb] in order to survive
[Gm]
There [Dm] was nowhere to throw the [Bb] light
[C] And now it's when you use my [F] name
Like a chill in my bones
When you say to me what you say to [Dm] me
I thought I found hope
But hidden underneath we were [C] crumbling
No shooting stars can fix what we are to [Bb] end
What good's a lighthouse when the light is burning out?
[Gm]
And I feel what we were washing over [Dm] me
Questioning [A] everything all [F] the time
And I keep all the ways that you wanted [C] me to be different
Fresh in my [Gm] mind
What you loved, what you wanted, what you held [Dm] so high
When we first met in [F] hindsight
Were the things that you tried [C] and asked me to change
[Bb] As if I could do that
[F] Like a wave you're always
Crashing into me
[Am] Crashing into [Dm] me
There's a hole you used to be
And there [C] used to be
No shooting stars can fix what we are to [Bb] end
What good's a lighthouse when the light is burning [C] [N]
out?
Oh, give it up for the strings, everybody!
Made me cry.
