about

"This song started as a bit of a chaotic demo I made and sent to Isaac Elmont and from there we decided to just dive in head first and embrace the ~drama of it all~lol I’ve been really inspired by video game and music soundtracks growing up so I thought it was only fitting to integrate those kind of sounds into this one. It’s a bit intense but I’ve also felt some really intense emotions through the years, some that were necessary to feel and get through and some that I got stuck on and didn’t benefit in me in the long run, and that’s about as far as I’ll go into the meaning of the song but I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for the support!"

lyrics

Why should I
Be there for you now
For you now
For you now

You must be dreaming
Visions scheming
To think I’d come back
Well babe not like that

Let’s go far away
Back to the place
Where you first left me
Will you be reminded
I am the kind that’s
Not so quick to forgive

Cause I was praying that someone would make you feel
How you made me feel show you what it’s like to be me
I thought that when this day came
I’d be stronger
Show no mercy

So why am I still there
For you now
For you now
I must be the fool to make your bed
And then lie in it
I just lie in it

I dreamed
Of what I would say
When I saw your face
Knew you’d come around
I’ve been so obsessed
Guess I missed all the mess
Of your blood running on the floor

Cause I was praying that someone would make you feel
How you made me feel show you what it’s like to be me
I thought that when this day came
I’d be stronger
Show no mercy
