Recover
Running Late Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The days turn to weeks , she quivers while she sleeps
Her smiles overdue , his promises remain untrue .
This routine i'm living from day to day
I'm searching for something to eaze the pain

She tells herself he'll change
While make-up fade's away
Your nothing , without me
Repair myself each day
With letters that i saved
There burning , it's so lovely

My heart it's lost ..

Everything inside's crumbling and destroying me
Suffocate your voice , turn it off , keep ignoring me





This routine i'm living is tearing me apart
I'm searching for something to mend my broken heart

Red light therapy... 🤣

I like to keep it simple: Sauna, whiskey and a good night of sleep.

Generally fair advice. Good to see you experiment with modalities like red light therapy (that being said, there’s pretty much no real evidence that it works so even if you end up saying it felt great, I wouldn’t tell anyone else to use it)

Beginner tip: hire a red light therapist.
