Decoy Lyrics by Grace Gardner

Recovery Mile

2024

[Verse 1]
I just bought flowers for a wedding shower you’d be at
If you’d stuck around
Bright pink tulips
Hoping you’ll keep your lips sealed
Is an empty promise now
I skip the songs we listened to on the car ride to Euclid
Some voice singing about a highway
Now you have me on the stand
Wishing I’d drifted like I planned
Or never told myself “why wait?”

[Chorus]
I put thought into what I said
But it’s impact over intent
And I’ll never get to explain what I meant
But it’s better we don’t speak
I spent time on that breakup text
And you left my life at my request
It’s a vacant feeling in my chest
But you never filled me
You never filled me

[Verse 2]
You don’t look like you did when you were a kid
Wouldn’t shock me if you were a decoy
You’re emptier now
Had your head in the clouds
But your eyes are so devoid
Now all my friends are betting
On the date of your wedding
How soon you’d stop and think
I guess if it feels right
And she’s what your folks like
Then it doesn’t matter
It’s a matter of weeks

[Chorus]
I put thought into what I said
But it’s impact over intent
And I’ll never get to explain what I meant
But it’s better we don’t speak
I spent time on that breakup text
And you left my life at my request
It’s a vacant feeling in my chest
But you never filled me
You never filled me
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
I don’t want you
I can’t even stand you most days
I don’t need you
I used to say it to your face
I don’t want you
Not even at this lifeless pace
I don’t need you
And you know that, babe

[Chorus]
I put thought into what I said
But it’s impact over intent
And I’ll never get to explain what I meant
But it’s better we don’t speak
I spent time on that breakup text
And you left my life at my request
It’s a vacant feeling in my chest
But you never filled me
You never filled me
