this song is about a girl (wow exciting!) who's time I wasted for a few months, sort of a reflection on the mistakes that I made and the aftermath. I've got music for this already but I want to make sure the lyrics are up to scratch before I record them. I'm not 100% sure about keeping the bridge, but yeah any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
the ache stays with me:
verse:
the first part is fire, the flying of sparks
the naive belief; ‘this it it’ ‘this will work’
but when i’ve found something i will know this is nothing
the last part is sickness, the lump in my throat
the intoxication; I can’t think, I can’t hurt
the calm before everything turns into scathing again
chorus:
rolled pain into joints and smoked my love away
spat grief into bottles, I got sick of the taste
searched all my life just for something to waste
but the ache stays with me
verse:
the next part is running, the only way out
the pure trepidation, I practice my smile
but I can’t convince anyone anything anyway
the worst part is knowing I wasted her time
there’s love for her somewhere but it’s not mine
said she couldn’t be happy without me, I pray it’s a lie
chorus:
rolled pain into joints and smoked my love away
spat grief into bottles, I got sick of the taste
searched all my life just for something to waste
but the ache stays with me
bridge:
the only part that I regret
is that I couldn't bury the things I said
a couple weeks to get things back on track
we'll both move on and someday I'm sure we'll both be glad
chorus:
rolled pain into joints and smoked my love away
spat grief into bottles, I got sick of the taste
searched all my life just for something to waste
but the ache stays with me
