Lark
Angel Olsen Lyrics

To forget you is to hide, there's still so much left to recover
Forgetting you means I would have to bury all of our memories, but I still have hope of getting them back someday.

If only we could start again, pretending we don't know each other
I wish we could go back to the beginning and reintroduce ourselves as though we've never met before.

I could not come back the same, this city's changed
I know I won't be the same person I was when I return to this city, it has changed too much.

It's not what it was back when you loved me
This city is different from what it was in the past when you still loved me.

Walking down that path we made when we thought
Remembering the times we walked down that path while we were still in love.

What we had was such a good thing
What we had between us was a wonderful relationship that we destroyed.

Hiding out inside my head, it's me again, it's no surprise I'm on my own now
I keep looking for you inside my head, but it's no surprise that I'm alone now.

Every time I turn to you, I see the past
Every time I look at you, I see the memories of our past together.

It's all that lasts and all I know how
Those memories are the only thing that remains in my mind, that's all I know how to think about.

Learn to look me in the eyes
Try to connect with me by looking straight into my eyes.

Yet I still don't feel it's me you're facing
Despite making eye contact, I still don't feel like you're really seeing me or truly understand who I am now.

Say your heart is always mine, what about old times, you can't erase them
You say that your heart still belongs to me, but what about our past together? It can't just be erased and forgotten.

Wishing we could only find one another
Hoping that we could find each other again despite everything that has happened.

All we've done here is blind one another
It feels like our relationship has just caused us to hurt and mislead each other.

Hate can't live in this heart here forever
There can't be any room for hate in my heart forever, I need to let it go.

Have to learn how to make it together
We need to learn how to work together to rebuild what we've lost.

The way you scream like something else as a man
The way you scream makes me feel like you're someone else entirely.

Baby, I was there and I held him, I was there and he put it all on me
I was there for him when he needed me, and he shared everything with me.

Baby, I was there and I held him, right there where no one else could see
I was there for him in secret, where no one else could find us.

Took me into his arms, told me that I was the reason
He embraced me and told me I was the reason for his happiness.

Told me that I was the woman he'd always be losing, always be dreaming
He told me that I was the woman he always wanted to hold on to, but couldn't quite keep.

Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on
Keep dreaming, no matter how impossible it may seem.

Dream on, dream on
Keep dreaming, never give up hope.

You say you love every single part
You say you love everything about me.

What about my dreams?
What about my aspirations and desires?

What about the heart?
What about the most important part of me, my heart and emotions?

Trouble from the start
Our relationship was in trouble from the very beginning.

Trouble with the heart
The main source of our relationship troubles were our emotions and hearts that just couldn't quite connect.
