Sundress

I still see you every time that I close my eyes
In the sundress that you didn't want to buy
'Cause you don't know how to take care of yourself
And I'm lost here with no way out
Of these endless thoughts that are tied around my throat
And I can't seem to let go

Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I got stuck looking for the light stored inside

Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I never thought we'd make it this far

We talked about this in my car
It felt so hollow
You said "why do you never look that sad"
I wished I could cry like you
And be able to love you
Without blaming you for leaving me
I am a car crash about to blow

But I know
Loss is a collaborative work
Between the ones who leave and the ones who stay
Was it me who made you go away?
I can't stand the thought of you not missing me

Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I got stuck looking for the light stored inside

Flowers grew from all the
Walls we used to call home
I never thought we'd make it this far

Was it worth it all?
This stands as a monument for all we've been
The lighthouse that I've always wanted to be

Our fears bloomed on you dress
And outshone the skyline
Can you believe these birds fly
Thanks to our hands?

I always thought they'd never go
But I guess we'll never know
