Oh don't be such a fool
Don't you know there's nothing you can do
To bring'em back even when they swear
That they will always love you true
So you gnash your teeth
A mummy cursed to breathe
Stumble 'round month to month
In the backdrop of your scene
& you know it's a slow burn
To learn to live with the missing
Parts of yourself you gave away
Parts of yourself you gave away
Oh aloha
Hello goodbye
After all there's nothing left to say
But wish the best for them in the end
& sweep the broken glass away
You grit your teeth like
A server in the weeds
Start to taste the food you eat
See colors in all the grays
& you know it's a slow burn
To learn to live with the missing
Parts of yourself you gave away
I know you'll do it again someday
