​tension

[Verse]
I am not who I once thought I was
The cords that used to hold the load
I piled upon myself have come undone
And your bones won’t be no good for long

[Hook]
This is the reckoning I mentioned
It’s honestly a fallacy if you’re reading into it
I hope you know that this was never my intentions
Assuming misdirection and loosening the tension

[Chorus]
I wish you well, despite my apathy
I need to see you thrive

[Verse 2]
And who are you
How dare you stand in her place
Just because you’re her shape
Doesn’t mean you can fool me
The empty road I paved our house upon
Seems to be narrow as it was
The day I made shelter of your lungs
And placed our mistakes into the sun
Replacements in the vacant frame you left behind
Never fill the space, I know, I’ve tried
I know I tried

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish you well, despite my apathy
I need to see you thrive

[Chorus]
I wish you well, despite my apathy
I need to see you thriving
The worst of it can vanish, she’s the reason I survived at all
You won’t be hearing this for what it really means but
I can promise you’re the reason
I promise you’re the reason
