Golden
stairly Lyrics

You're holding on to pieces
You're still holding onto the broken parts of our relationship

And nothings gonna change the way you feel inside
You're not willing to change how you truly feel inside

A self-consuming state of mind
You are consumed by your own thoughts and not considering the impact on our relationship

You're trying not to break I know
You are trying to hold on and not completely let go, and I understand that

And pushing me away is the reason for your lies
You are lying to me because you are trying to push me away from the relationship

I don't have a reason all the time
I don't always have an explanation for my actions and feelings either

It's funny how you say you need your space
It's ironic that you say you need space from me, while I am so far away

When I'm 10,000 miles away
I am physically far from you, but our emotional distance is even greater

And you're doing the things you were afraid I'd do
You are acting in ways you feared I would act, and it's hurting our relationship

But maybe as the season's change
Perhaps over time, things may improve between us

We'll find a way to grow and act like it's all fine
We will try to move past our issues, even if it means pretending everything is okay

But this isn't the first time
Our problems have occurred before, and we keep falling into the same pattern

We're trying to stay afloat by holding on
We're desperately trying to keep our relationship going

To the memories unspoken
We try to hold onto the good memories, even if we don't voice them

Baby, all those years were golden
We had some great times, even if things aren't great now

You're lying to yourself
You're pretending you don't care, but deep down, you do

And so am I
I'm pretending I don't care either, but I do

We don't wanna say we're broken
Neither of us wants to admit that our relationship is suffering

It hard enough to walk away
Leaving each other is already difficult

But slamming doors and packing up your stuff
Dramatically leaving and taking your things only makes things worse

You know it really fucks me up
Your actions are taking a toll on my emotional well-being

You'll keep the pictures on my phone
You'll hold onto the good memories, even if our relationship ends

I'll tell you I deleted all except a few
I'm trying to move on, but it's difficult to let go of the past

But we both know that isn't true
We both know that we are still holding onto the past, despite our efforts to move on

The sun rises on another day
Time continues to move forward, regardless of our relationship's struggles

And maybe the sky is blue
Things may seem normal, but underneath the surface, we are still struggling

But the storm sets in and it's thundering
Our issues come back and cause disturbances in our relationship

And there's nothing we can do, oh no
We feel helpless to fix our problems, even though we both want to

Now I'm talking about you in the past tense
Our relationship has ended, and I can only talk about you in the past

But it's better to move on
Even though it's painful, it's time for us to let go and move forward

Baby, all those years were golden, oh
Despite our difficulties, we still had amazing memories together

Baby, all those years were golden, oh
Our past was wonderful, but it's time to move on and create new memories
