Lyrics

i read yesterday you moved on it was never about me i took the train past haverhill and walked away from allison street

what is it about you and songs from 2016 that remind me of your moped and driving down the langley and it’s all bittersweet i just wish that you could call me in a year ‘cause even after all this time i’m here

i have this anxious habit of biting my tongue i hide the words behind my teeth and if i had the courage at all i would have sang the hymn inside of me if only i could have been the one to set you free

i slip and fall down the rabbit hole of memory and you shattered the illusion of my sanity i keep telling them they don’t believe the way i never thought you would be the one to leave

The specific details really ground this story and with your soft and emotional delivery, the moment and the world really come to life.

Good melodic dip on "about me" and "my tears." I'm always a sucker for details: haverhill; 2016; the langley; moped. Like the couplet with different line lengths and rhythms. And, throughout, that voice: clear and calm, which is somehow more heartbreaking.

Very soothing song, I really like your voice! I really like the minimalist instrumentation that leaves room for the vocals. I also really enjoyed the lyrics, a beautiful tribute. Welcome to FAWM.

Beautiful and haunting. I love the way your emotive vocal melody sits on the comforting bed of the synths. (Plus also I'm pretty sure I've never seen Haverhill referenced in a song before. Mad bonus points!)

@sadcoolgirl 5h

@thob 6h

Thank you for sharing this song. Really love the mood you’ve created here - put me in mind of Sofia Coppola films. Lyrics are brilliantly crafted, and perfectly portrays a sense of loss. The refrain is very powerful. Amazing job.
