I'll See You Later

Mid-Tempo piano-driven track experimenting with virtual instruments (UJAM). Theme: When you're willing to get burned over and over again for the sake of getting close to the fire.

Verse 1
You kept a thin slice of me
locked up inside a box
Something you took years ago
when the both of our wires got crossed 

I'm not sure why hell that you called 
Or what you might need to say,
Doesn't really make a difference in the end,
'Cause you got me anyway

Chorus
I remembered that sting  
The ache that it'd bring 
The stick in my chest 
Cuz I don't love you any less 

I surrendered the scars 
That surrounded my heart 
And I leaned hard into
All the hurt that is you. 

Verse 2
I recall that phone call
Winter 2010 
Things had changed and the man was gone
And you were thinkin' 'bout love again

I told myself that I'd made some gains
I could handle if I let you back in
When I dropped my guard, you hit me hard
And I'm broken as I've ever been

Bridge
I took back the box where my hope had been locked
I opened that shit and I got rid of it 

Chorus 2
I don't remember the sting 
Or the ache it would bring 
There's no sick in my gut
Cuz I gave you up

The Hurt That Is You

You Are Loved

Every Song's About You

It's about acknowledging the way our past shapes us without it becoming our identify. It's about being kinder to yourself. It's about empowerment.
