about

Written and performed by Joel Michalak

lyrics

Well I found what I was looking for
And I wouldn’t dare ask for more
But I have no closure and no crystal ball
And everything feels like it’s about to fall apart

A man says to me “I fucked up”
I married the wrong woman, one that I’ll never love
As much as the girl I loved in my youth
I was young and stupid. I was a fool
Now I lay in bed every night
Feeling nothing for this woman that I call my wife
He says “don’t let go of love, and live without regret”
I said, that’s great advice, but life’s more complicated.

In our search for meaning we gamble with our happiness
And like any other bet, it’s just a guess
So do I stay or do I walk away
Only time will tell if I made a mistake

Of course I don’t want to live with regret
Always wishing things were different
That’s why I try so hard not to disconnect
Holding onto hope, till there’s nothing left

If I knew I’d forget you in a year
It wouldn’t be so god damn hard when you decided to disappear
But I know I will never forget
And every new disappointment brings this old regret
It’s easy to walk away if you’ll be happy again
But what if it turned out you were my only chance
So I stay tied to uncertainty
Till I find a reason you will never love me

I hope you’re being honest with yourself
’cause you know your lies won’t hurt as much to anyone else
And if you want to build a wall where a connection was made
Well then I hope you’ll be happy in your barricade

Of course you don’t want to live in regret
Always wishing things were different
But you’re the one trying to disconnect
So don’t get mad at me when there’s nothing left
You pushed me aside, but if you want me gone
Just tell me you felt nothing for me all along
And I hope you’re honest, and that’s the truth
Or you’ll wake up feeling nothing for the person next to you
