I wrote this song immediately after the incident with my ex that up and left. I tried my hardest to put her out of my mind, but she kept sneaking back in. I had poured my heart onto the page, and yet nothing could make me shake the image of her face or the sound of her voice. It was incredibly troubling and heart-wrenching, and I think that emotion is captured pretty well in this song.

lyrics
Sitting alone getting drunk on a future
That hasn't occurred, grasp on reality looser
Reflecting on the past ‘til I feel like a loser
In need of a serious confidence booster
The past is a haze, my hindsight's blurry
Mind in a daze, I'm feeling hurried
To get some direction, my head is burning
The future’s a puzzle and I'm a little worried
The world will sing its song stringing me along
Path is drowned in fog, Head is lost in thought
Every face reminds me of you (every face reminds me of you)
It’s a message tried and true (tried and true)
It’s something I can’t escape (something I can’t escape)
Yet it seems that things are falling into place
I've been thinking for a while
Maybe there's a part of me that's living in denial
How do you make me feel this way?
Living in a purgatory made of hope and pain
All things considered I guess that we’re even
Take these last words; don’t doubt that I mean them
I’m going away, I think I need a break
There’s a time and a place, but we’re not headed the same way
Say what you want, but in the end it’s time
To let go of your past and stop revisiting mine
I’m going away, I think I need a break
There’s a time and a place, but we’re not headed the same way
Turn the page that's left unread with every word I've never said
The ink is dry, my soul's been bled, any chance we had is dead
This feeling pulses through my bones, the only thing I've ever known
I guess I'm better on my own, leaving you alone
