[Lyric] Nothing after Nothing Came Bursting Out (Mt. Oriander)

You have been out of my life
For longer now than when you were in it

The anniversary quietly slipped by
Like the end of a low tide
When water returns to nestle in the coastline

There were no processions, there were no speeches
I did not utter your name

I rarely think about you anymore

When we last met, we were barely spеaking
Silence draped likе a scarf around your neck -
Loose, aloof, trying too hard to seem carefree

Your last words were never meant to be a parting gift
But they ripped right through my chest

"There are some things that cannot be repaired
When it breaks, it is broken for good
I know there is still love there, but
It hurts too much to bear"
I argued, I pled
I did not choose my words carefully

I would have said anything to make you stay

But you looked at the sidewalk instead
And we sat with it

I think now I never really knew you
