Grieving the Future Lyrics by Eleri Ward

Grieving the Future (Artist: Eleri Ward)

2023

[Verse 1]
I've been grieving the future
I've been crying over things I never had
I've been mourning my daydreams
I've been losing all the things I want so bad
I've been closing myself in
I've been holding onto all that isn't there
I've been falling in fake love
I've been making it real so now I care

[Chorus]
So I'm crying, crying over nothing
Crying, crying over things in my head
Trying, trying to hold onto
All the plans I wanna keep
Visions of you and me

[Verse 2]
I've been looking with eyes closed
I've been running from a present state of mind
I've been hiding in plain sight
'Cause I've been fooling everybody with a smile
But I'vе been breaking my own heart
I've been dying with thе hope I used to have
I've been falling apart
The only thing that held me up was never there

[Chorus]
So I'm crying, crying over nothing
Crying, crying over things in my head
Trying, trying to hold onto
All the plans I wanna keep
Visions of you and me
Crying over nothing
Crying over things in my head
Trying to hold onto
All the plans I wanna keep
Visions of you and me

[Post-Chorus]
You can grieve the past
You can grieve a lover
Who didn't last
But you can't grieve the future
('Cause it feels so good to think of the way I want it)
You can grieve the past
(It feels so good to get everything I wanted)
You can grieve a lover
(It feels too good to stop making up my sorrow)
Who didn't last
(It feels too good to stop living in tomorrow)
But you can't grieve the future

[Chorus]
Crying over nothing
Crying over things in my head
Trying to let go of
All the plans I wanna keep
Visions of you and me
Crying, crying over nothing
Crying, crying over something that I dreamt
Now I'm letting go of
All the plans I tried to keep
It never was you and me

[Post-Chorus]
You can grieve the past
You can grieve a lover
Who didn't last
But you can't grieve the future
