​you were the one Lyrics by Zoe Briskey

Highland Avenue

2022

I'm in a lot of therapy
And it's helping
She really listens to me
I talk about you and the haunting you do
I wish things were different
Why have I not been forgiven?
And time keeps moving and grooving along
Every day is the same
I do what I do and I write what I say
No time to waste
I miss your words and the way your mouth tastes
Everything is only to make something tangible
There's nothing worth me being miserable
To you I'm invisible
I miss those hungry lips
I miss the way you kiss
Together we're not safe
Sometimes I feel finе
But then I think I'm lying
Gotta get out of your place
You wеre the one who showed me what I go
You were the one who I never forgot
I reread all your poetry
And dream you wrote it for me
Swim in delusioned seas
Forgetting the words I wish I never heard
I just want to say I'm sorry
Even though it wasn't so terrible
Living without you's unbearable
And when I dream at night
You're all I see in sight
Together we're not safe
Sometimes I feel fine
But then I think I'm lying
Gotta get out of your place
You were the one who showed me what I go
You were the one who I never forgot
You were the one who taught me who I was
The only one that I think of
You weren't for me
The only one for me
Together we're not safe
Gotta get out of this place
You weren't for me
The only one for me
Light the fire then put it out
Or else I can't breathe
