about

This is my favourite song I've ever written, and it has a lot of personal meaning to me. I hope you like it! Thank you! :)

Special thanks to Minan Song for helping me with the artwork! She did the amazing drawing!

lyrics

How foolish of me to think
That you'd be there by my side
There's so many things that make you beautiful
How could I think that you would be alone

And I'm tracing back the steps
Darling on your lips
And how I miss

All the conversations
And all the jokes we made
I miss it all
I could never hate you
'Cause everything that you do
Is filled with love

But did you miss me at all
'Cause you've been on my mind for way too long
Why did I ever think that you could love me
But it's all my fault I know

Like castles on the sand
we could take our love and start again
But when you go off and talk about him
All it does is make me want you even more

And now I've caught myself up in this trope
And I know the way that this story goes

All the conversations
Slowly fade to silence
I miss her voice
Tell me that you hate
So I don't go believe all the noise

But did you miss me at all
'Cause you've been on my mind for way too long
Why did I ever think that you could love me
But it's all my fault I know

And I should've known (I should've known)
And I should've known (I should've known)
I should've known (I should've known)
I should've known (I should've known)
