On Summer - Pentimento

And so it goes

Such a natural ebb & flow —

The way that I seem to lose everything I love

I blame myself for fucking up

The weight on my chest was something I wouldn’t wish on anyone

I can’t understand why I get so angry when

I hear things you say about how «over it» you think I am

'cause I sure as hell would like to think that I’ve moved past

All the things that hold me back

But the truth is…

There will always be that part of me, that pit in my chest;

There to replace the space you lived

But the more I sink into reasons it didn’t work out

I wonder if you’ve ever blamed yourself

And no, I don’t mean «blame» in some superficial way

As if I could ever say you weren’t good enough for me

I mean that there are pieces of what we were

That were flawed and immature

And your lack of trust, with a lack of reason

Helped fuck this up
