about

How often does one reflect on what they did wrong in a relationship and either reveal what they could have done better, or just accept that they cannot change. This song explores those thoughts that swirl around in a post-break-up scenario.

lyrics

I lost my money in a gambling game
Gave it to the devil when I signed my name
This fire is warm but my blood is cold
This is what it feels like without my soul

Oh Oh whoah
Oh Oh whoah

I can’t get to sleep by closing my eyes
So I prayed to the lord until I cried
I said Lord, can you help me
I’m losing my way?
I’m not the man I thought I was today

Oh oh whoah
Oh oh whoah

I feel like running away
But I’m chasing my tail
Guess I keep looking back
Always hiding the pain
Tell my friends I’m okay
Guess I’m just strange like that
And I could’ve done better but I’m hiding it all inside
And we never really know
All the people that we’ll leave behind
Don’t You Miss Me

I gave my time to the working man
So I took what I could and I made my plans
I wanna see the mountains and the red gum trees
And I wanna see you before I leave

Oh oh whoah
Oh oh whoah

I feel like running away
But I’m chasing my tail
Guess I keep looking back
Always hiding the pain
Tell my friends I’m okay
Guess I’m just strange like that
And I could’ve done better but I’m hiding it all inside
And we never really know
All the people that we’ll leave behind
Don’t You Miss Me

Lay me down in a boat on the sea
Standing on the shore
Watch the waves take me
Burning the horizon
Drifting away
Hold onto your tears
For when we meet again
