about

kyle burnt my hand with the back of a cigar once in Jillian's old garage

we're all in different points in our lives struggling with different things and this is about recognizing those hardships in the people we care about

also the chorus was inspired by my roommate freshman year who would lock the door when i was awake in my bed.
thanks for the lines, i hope you never see this

lyrics

Small circular burn inscriptions
from nights made haste to satisfy your addictions
i reached for your hand and all i felt
was ash

and the last time that i saw you smile,
i drove us to the secretary of state
you renewed your license
i applied to vote
you fixed your hair and then you said

yeah you said

that it hurts my heart to know
that you would lock your door
before you’d leave me behind in the morning
before you’d leave me behind

and you’d tell me that

those 6 letters that once spelled snooze
have long since been removed
they’ve been thrust off, rubbed away (ty, D)
like your body’s been fighting off the day

there is a fine line between sleeping in
and sleeping all day
my life it’s gone to the dogs
my colors turned to grays

but it hurts my heart to know
that you would lock your door
before you'd leave me behind in the morning
before you'd leave me behind
