Who has been listening to Taylor Swift’s Lover album on repeat? There are a few songs I fell in love with instantly. One of them is this one. I heard it and it brought me back to my thousand cuts that I still feel. Many of those cuts have been healed but there are still a lot. I don’t know if they will every completely go away but one day at a time, right?
Saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts
Flashbacks waking me up
I get drunk, but it’s not enough
‘Cause the morning comes and you’re not my baby
I look through the windows of this love
Even though we boarded them up
Chandelier still flickering here
‘Cause I can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not
It’s death by a thousand cutsI dress to kill my time
I take the long way home
I ask the traffic lights if it’ll be alright
They say, “I don’t know”
And what once was ours
Is no one’s now
I see you everywhere…
My heart, my hips, my body, my love
Tryna find a part of me that you didn’t touch
Gave up on me like I was a bad drug
…
My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust
Tryna find a part of me you didn’t take up
Gave you too much, but it wasn’t enough
