about

i spend a lot of time in my room or alone

and i could point at a couple of different reasons why

i wanted to thank my girlfriend for (sometimes literally) lifting me out of my room and encouraging me to do real person things

lyrics

i've been trying to find the words to say
how it feels when i stay in bed all day
if not to only get something from the fridge

i've been trying to find the words to say
when nothing's wrong i just don't feel great
and you said that you'd be over soon

(that repeats)

but you aren't here
you aren't here
you aren't here

and i stopped like 10 minutes into sunshine of a spotless mind
i like Jim Carrey and I guess that the acting's fine

i just didn't want something to try and remind me

of the nuances of a broken heart
how it feels to always fall apart
when something makes me feel sad again

because you aren't here
you aren't here
you aren't here

i like you and having you around
you help me to suppress the sounds

i like you and having you around
you help me to suppress the sounds
of this empathetic weight that i've taken on

but you aren't here
