Square One
Emma Bradley Lyrics

Back at square one
Starting over from the beginning

I'm your stranger
Although we were once close, now I feel like a stranger to you

I've lost you've won
I have lost our connection while you have moved on and are happy without me

Don't act like you don't know that
Don't pretend that you are unaware of the impact you've had on me and the pain I'm feeling

Voices in my head tell me something that I said was wrong
I constantly replay our conversations and second-guess myself, believing I said something to cause our separation

Chest under my bed holding everything I can't let go of
I keep physical reminders of our past relationship hidden away, unable to let go of the emotional attachment

I wish I could just let you go
I long to be able to move on and forget about you, but it is incredibly challenging for me

Met her late night by the riverside
I had a brief encounter with someone else, a distraction from my feelings for you

Didn't last long
The new relationship was short-lived and did not provide the fulfillment I was seeking

But at least she still calls me a friend
Despite the romantic relationship ending, we managed to maintain a friendship, providing some comfort and connection

Voices in my head tell me we just ended overgrown
My thoughts constantly remind me that our relationship ended due to circumstances that became too complicated and overwhelming

Chest under my bed lets me keep a hold on all the good parts
Keeping mementos of our time together allows me to hold onto the happy memories and positive aspects of our relationship

I don't know if I could ever let go of somebody that I loved
I am uncertain if I will ever be able to fully move on from someone I once deeply loved

And I wish I could just let you go
I continue to hope for the strength and ability to release my attachment to you
