Death of Me
Veronica Ballestrini Lyrics

I lay here okay
I am currently in a state of calm and well-being.

But then my head goes to that place
However, my mind starts to wander to a specific memory.

I start to drift to sleep I'm fine
Initially, I am peacefully falling asleep.

Then contemplation fills my mind
Yet my thoughts are consumed by deep reflection.

Coffee shop in December
I recall a specific moment in time.

It was so perfect don't you remember
At that moment, everything seemed ideal and unforgettable.

But somewhere between here and there
However, something changed without me realizing it.

The love got lost
The affection we had for each other vanished.

And we fell apart, don't know why
As a result, the relationship ended suddenly and mysteriously.

And i close my eyes and we're back holding hands
Despite my attempt to move on, my mind forces me to relive a romantic moment.

On the drive down to the beach where it all began
This memory is linked to a specific location where the relationship started.

There was a full moon in the sky
The moment is further detailed by the specific time of day.

Young and reckless we crossed lines
At that time, we were carefree and bold in our actions.

But it felt so right and I fell so helplessly
Despite the impulsivity, my feelings for you at that moment were pure and true.

Oh these memories, will be the death of me
But dwelling on past memories is slowly killing me emotionally.

It's not that I miss you
I don't long for your presence in my life.

It's just no matter what I do
But regardless of my efforts, my thoughts always return to you.

It takes me back and I just miss those sweet times
The memories bring me back to the good times we shared, and I long for them again.

When you were mine
When we were in a relationship together.

Before goodbye
Before our relationship came to an abrupt end.

And the feelings won't die
Despite it all, my emotions for you remain strong.

Because I keep them alive
I actively sustain those feelings instead of trying to move on.

Feeding them with old memories
I sustain these emotions by recalling past memories.

They won't let me breathe
Though it is exhausting, my feelings for you won't leave me alone.

On the streets there in Savannah we made last minute plans
Another specific memory surfaces, linked to a specific city and action.

By the window at the bakery
The memory is further detailed by the location of the event.

The first time that you said you loved me
This moment is particularly significant because my love for you was returned.

I fell so helplessly
At that moment, I was swept up in my emotions.

Oh these memories won't let me be
These memories continue to haunt me and do not allow me to move on.

I close my eyes and they're all I see
In my mind's eye, these memories are the only images that appear.

These memories will be the death of me
Ultimately, these unrelenting memories will be the end of me emotionally.
