Takamine Lyrics by Thalo

i mean.

2019

[Verse 1]
You showed me to fly, let alone how to walk
I knew how to sing before I could even talk
I learned from your wisdom and your hands guided mine
I guess I never thought about the insistence of time
And I know, oh, I know that you didn't have a clue
But you know that I don't think you'd have stopped it if you knew

[Chorus]
Well I've been thinking about this old worn Takamine
It reminds me of the days I never lived

[Verse 2]
And the seasons marched on, slipping by day by day
I'd bring you the ball but you wouldn't want to play
And your hands, once steady, now could not play the blues
I didn't cry when they told me, felt like I already knew

[Chorus]
Well I've been thinking about this old worn Takamine
Reminds me of the days I never lived
And I think you ought to know there never could be
Another empty heartbreak such as this

[Bridge]
Well when you said I shouldn't bother, you found comfort in a bottle
Yet you said I meant a lot to you
But when you're withering in front of me, can't help but think you've gotta be
A little more than halfway through
Your inescapable commitments didn't seem so very threatening
When you don't think about the damage done
I don't know just what you wanted, but I hope you fucking got it
'Cause I'm feeling just a little bit undone

[Chorus]
Well I've been thinking about this god damned Takamine and all the days you could have, should have lived
Maybe there was a way back then, but you made your choice
Now I'll live with it
