"Rotherhithe" lyrics

"Rotherhithe"

There are some good days
When I don't think of you
I make it through the morning
It's like I'm pulling through
But then there are the bad days
Days filled with yearning
Endless haunted nights
Bleed into restless mornings

The heartbreak rises
It comes in waves
I count the hours
A way to manage it
Now I just kill time walking around

But then those are the breaks
I've lost a part of myself
All good things must come to an end
But it hurts for me to know
That I have lost a friend

And in my grieving, I spin a snow storm
Waiting for your word but it does not come
I'm trapped in a moment that I just can't get out of
Like the dolphin in the Thames we saw from your window
The last time I saw you, you were wearing my trainers
You gave me back a bag filled with my things
I hold it together but outside the Mayflower, I burst into tears

I still have questions
Was it not real for you?
But I know the answer
Because you're not here
If it was true love then why did you not fight for me?

But then those are the breaks
I have lost a part of myself
All good things must come to an end
But it hurts for me to know
That I have lost a friend

So I must make myself forget
What we shared
The only picture I kept
Was the one of you walking away

But then those are the breaks
I know I'm not at my best
So back in the ocean
We both will go
But it hurts for me to know
That I have lost a friend
