Closure
Avalon Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish i could understand how your brain works
Wish you could understand how this pain burns
I wish you could compromise every once in a while
Wish you would give me back my favorite t-shirt
I know you keep it there hoping that I′ll come over
Hope I won't be sober lean my head on your shoulder
Say I miss you and kiss you and then lose my composure
I′m just looking for closure cause I- I couldn't get to sleep last night
Stayed up thinking when, where, why you switched up
Baby I, I really need to hear your side and maybe I can justify leaving
Cause I know this is over, I know I want off this rollercoaster
But I need piece of mind I need some closure
I know you're thinking of making a move, cause you see I′m shaking, I′m weak, and confused
But don't even play that, I ain′t in the mood
I just need some closure
I wish you didn't have to lose me to appreciate me
But you were always so wrapped up in what you didn′t have
I wish that when you knew someone love for you, you'd appreciate it
You would put for the effort to try and get it back
I wish you knew how to step away from a situation, gather all your feelings and
Then articulate them
I wish my lovin′ was reciprocated and every conversation I didn't initiate it
Listen baby, I- I couldn't get to sleep last night
Stayed up thinking when, where, why your heart stopped beating
Ooh I, I really need to hear your side, then maybe I can justify leaving.
Cause I know this is over, I know I want off this rollercoaster
But I need piece of mind, I need some closure
I know you′re thinking of making a move, cause you see I′m shaking, I'm weak, and confused
But don′t even play that, I ain't in the mood
I just need some closure.
I guess they leaving with an open hand, hate when things just don′t make sense
Hate when truths are left unsaid
Hate that you can break my heart and walk away without a scar
You need to know where you went wrong, I'm just trying to move on
Cause I know this is over, I know I want off this rollercoaster, and I need piece of mind
I need some closure.
I know you′re thinking of making a move cause you see I'm shaking, I'm weak, and confused




But don′t even play that I ain′t in the mood
I just need some closure
