In The Morning
Riell Lyrics

All I know is this game of touch and go
I am uncertain of what our relationship truly is and it feels like we are playing a game of push and pull.

Most of my words are left unsaid
I struggle to express my true feelings towards you.

The more you take the more I give
Our interactions feel unbalanced and I continue to give to you even if it means sacrificing my own well-being.

And when there’s nothing left
Eventually, I will have nothing more to give.

You’ll be here kicking at rubble
Once our relationship falls apart, you will still be here trying to make something out of the destruction that remains.

Raise your glass here’s to another
Let's toast to the fact that we will continue this meaningless cycle of destructive behavior.

Night you won’t remember
Our nights together are a blur and devoid of any significant moments.

Night I won’t forget
Despite this, I can't help but remember every moment with you, no matter how insignificant.

In the morning I’ll feel more alone, and
The harsh light of day reminds me of my loneliness and vulnerability without you.

In the morning you’ll still be here
You will remain present in my life, despite the destructive nature of our relationship.

I will stand there staring at
As I look at myself in the morning, I am filled with disappointment and regret.

Myself, I will see, i will see
I will recognize the person I have become and the impact this relationship has had on me.

See the person I never wanted to be
The person I see in the mirror is not who I wanted to become; this relationship has changed me for the worse.

It added up, one wrong turn too many times
Over time, the small mistakes and missteps we made added up, leading us to this destructive point.

I let you get inside my head
You have had a significant impact on my thoughts and emotions, influencing me in ways I never anticipated.

What you planted grew unkind
The things you have said and done have caused emotional harm and pain for me.

Inside out tore up my mind
My thoughts and emotions have been turned inside out by this relationship, causing me immense turmoil.

Can’t trust these thoughts of mine
I am no longer able to trust my own emotions and thoughts due to the impact this relationship has had on me.

Down, down, down, I think I’m going down
My emotional state continues to spiral downwards with this relationship, leading to eventual breakdown.

I got caught up in your moment
I became entrapped in the emotional rollercoaster of our relationship.

I don’t know what matters now
I am uncertain of what truly matters to me anymore in the midst of this destructive relationship.

Got so lost in your moment
I became so caught up in you and our relationship that I lost a sense of myself and my own priorities.

Forget about it now
It's useless to dwell on the mistakes and problems of our relationship; it's time to move on.

In the morning you’ll still be here
Even though I try to forget about you, you continue to make an impact on my life and thoughts.

I will stand here
I will face my emotions head-on and confront the impact this relationship has had on me.

The person I never wanted to be
As I come to terms with my emotions and the relationship, I realize that this is not the person I want to be; something has to change.
