Reverie
In Her Own Words Lyrics

Somehow we talked it up without saying a goddamn word.
We communicated without speaking, creating a comfortable silence between us.

Forgot everything we heard about the world
We ignored what society told us and lived in the moment.

and how we'd learn it'd knock us over in the end.
We didn't want to think about the harsh realities of the world that could bring us down.

And I don't wanna be a backup plan again.
I don't want to be someone's second choice or fallback option.

I don't wanna be your pick-me-up again.
I don't want to be relied upon solely to make someone feel better.

You promised everything would work out in the end.
You made assurances that everything would turn out fine in the future.

The words that you took back were never the ones that would ever mean anything to me.
The apologies and promises you didn't keep were empty and held no value to me.

I gave you my best shot but you were a lost cause.
I gave my best effort, but it was futile because you were beyond help or repair.

Why did you mean anything to me?
Why did I care about you when you didn't reciprocate the same level of emotion?

Got strung up on everything that never was important.
I got caught up in trivial matters that didn't actually matter in the grand scheme of things.

I'll try to get it right. I just don't know what to do.
I'll make an effort to improve, but I don't know where to start or what actions to take.

I'm trying my hardest to keep my composure.
I'm making an attempt to remain calm and not lose control.

I'm trying my hardest to keep my feet on the ground and my hands in my pockets.
I'm striving to stay grounded and maintain a sense of stability and security.

The bags straining the skin below my eyes show the wear and tear of you being around.
The exhaustion and stress I experience are because of the impact you have on my life.

Chalked it up to feeling so let down again.
I accepted the disappointment and tried to move on from it.

Finally found a place to lay my head, but it's hard to sleep.
Despite finding a literal place to rest, I still struggle to find peace and relaxation.

I'll stay awake instead.
I'll remain conscious and alert, refusing to succumb to sleep and allowing my thoughts to overtake me.

Feeling like I'm walking aimlessly again.
I feel directionless and unsure of where I'm headed.

Making pebbles into boulders once again.
I'm blowing insignificant issues out of proportion and causing unnecessary stress.

I walk these streets all alone to clear my head.
I wander around by myself, hoping to find clarity and peace of mind.

I don't wanna wander aimlessly again.
I don't want to repeat the same mistakes of feeling lost and directionless.

Got strung up on everything, cut ties to everything we had.
I got tangled in everything that didn't matter and severed ties with what we shared.
