Pillars
Grandview Lyrics

When you said forever, you drove a hard bargain.
I feel like you made an extreme commitment when you promised forever, and I may not be able to keep up with that.

But this grip is getting looser everyday, like a child fighting to stay awake.
Our relationship is slipping away from me, and I'm struggling to keep holding on like a tired child.

Now it seems that all that's left is you and me and my insecurities, and I'm afraid there's only room for two of us.
It feels like there's only space for you and my anxieties, and I'm worried that there's not enough room for anyone else.

But I wonder if you even have a clue just how much this is killing me.
I'm not sure if you're aware of the pain and harm that our situation is causing me.

For now I'll learn to retrace my steps, and walk down yours for the last time.
I'll try my best to move on and let go, even if it means revisiting our past for closure.

All you had to say was it's over, and it's alright, and we could carry on.
I wish you would have been honest and upfront with me about ending things, so that we could have moved on more easily together.

I swear I never meant for this, but so it is, and so it goes.
I didn't intend for our relationship to end up like this, but unfortunately that's just the way things have turned out.

And I swear I never meant for this, but sometimes you have to pull up roots to make room for new ones to grow.
Although it's not what I wanted, sometimes it's necessary to let go of the old to make room for new experiences and opportunities.

We're just shards of a smashed bottle, lost with the words unspoken.
Our relationship is broken and fragmented, and we're left feeling lost and without closure from the things we left unsaid.

Shimmering bright but always hollow, we pretend we're something more than just broken.
We might appear to be put together and sparkly from the outside, but deep down we both know that we're just a couple of broken, hurting people trying to pretend like everything's okay.
