lyrics

I’m not gonna lie, man
It’s been a hard year
Swear I tried, man
But I’m really not here

Pretty much told my boss
I’m leaving
I’ll get my tickets
I’ll be gone by the weekend
I’ll cut myself some slack
I won’t even pack
I just start again
I’ll just start again

And I
I’m really starting over
And I
I’m giving this some closure

He really did it
He really left town
That was the last time that I saw him

He’s somewhere in the south of France now
And I keep meaning to call him
I’ve heard that there are limits to the pain we can feel 
Even with everything going on this year
I think he might have found his then
I think he’s doing alright
He looks happy in pictures

But I still think of him in the kitchen that night saying

I
I’m really starting over
And I
I’m giving this some closure
