Keep On
Tristan Lyrics

If you see me out somewhere
If you happen to spot me in public

And the world around you still goes quiet
And everything else seems to fade into the background

Hope you keep that to yourself, leave me be
I hope you don't bother me and keep your observations to yourself

And just sit in the silence
And simply remain quiet

Cuz i meant every word that i said
Because everything I said was sincere

When we spoke back in august
When we had that discussion in August

And you didn't care then
And you didn't show any concern back then

So don't you dare try and pretend like you want this
So don't even attempt to act like you desire this now

If your feelings come back
If your emotions resurface

The minute you see me
As soon as you lay eyes on me

Hope it hurts, hope it burns
I hope it causes you pain and agony

Hope you finally grieve me
I hope you finally mourn the loss of me

Cuz i knew this would happen
Because I anticipated this outcome

Wore my favorite outfit
I wore my most beloved attire

So you'd see what you're missing
So you'd realize what you've lost

Live and in action
Seeing me firsthand

Wasted time and attention to beg you to love me
I squandered my time and focused my energy on pleading for your love

Every time i tried to heal
Each time I attempted to recover

You'd just come back to haunt me
You would simply return to torment me

So don't look at me that way when i'm here with someone else
So don't give me that look when I'm with another person

If you're finally hurting
If you're finally experiencing pain

You should keep that to yourself
You should keep it to yourself and not show it

Never thought you'd be a stranger
I never expected you to become a stranger

But you decided that's who you would be now
But that's the choice you made

Don't know where you live or what you love
I have no knowledge of your whereabouts or your passions

But ignorance is keeping me sane somehow
But somehow, being ignorant about you keeps me sane

And i'll admit i've spent months waiting just for this moment
And I must confess that I've spent months waiting for this exact moment

And it kept me up at night that you're not even broken
And it troubled me that you weren't even affected by our separation

So don't do this to me now that i've switched my focus
So don't do this to me now that I've redirected my attention

And don't tell me i look good when you never used to notice
And don't compliment my appearance when you never paid attention to it before

You look like you saw a ghost
You appear shocked or startled

It's difficult, i know, to watch someone forget all about you
I understand that it's challenging to witness someone completely forgetting about you

And if you hear i'm keeping tabs, it doesn't mean i still care
And if you hear that I'm keeping track, it doesn't mean I still have feelings

Or at least not in the same way i used to
Or at least, not in the same intense manner as before

I think part of me is destined to love you forever
I believe a part of me is fated to love you eternally

So we can't do this all again to not end up together
So we shouldn't go through all of this again and still not end up together

Please don't look at me way when i'm here with someone else
Please don't give me that look when I'm with another person

I don't think i love him i'm scared you can tell
I don't believe I love him, and I'm afraid that you can see that

I've grown up, you don't know me
I've matured, and you no longer understand me

I don't sit in your pocket and wait like i used to
I don't linger around you, waiting as I did before

Finally turned a page
I have finally moved on

And i know it drives you crazy that i don't need you
And I'm aware that it infuriates you that I no longer rely on you

So don't look at me that way when i'm happy by myself
So don't give me that look when I'm content on my own

If you're finally feeling guilty
If you're finally experiencing guilt

Keep that to yourself
Keep it to yourself
