"Perpetual" lyrics
The older that I get, the more I feel the same
Sometimes I wish that I could just forget your name
I think you knew I knew, I think you tried to care
It's so hard to be present when you're not there
You'd be proud of me and where I am
Or maybe not but I think at least you'd understand
On how I got here and why I left you
The last thing I wanted and the only thing I couldn't do
And so I hide in my own head
One day I'll break out of it
I will learn and I will grow
So far down my roots won't show
I won't run and I won't hide
'Cause no one makes it out alive
You won't be around to see
But I know you'd be proud of-
I know you know me better than I know myself
The ex speaking out of line
Never said I needed help, never said I wanted anything
That's what you inferred
I omit a mortal soul
Never coming back to earth
Yeah, you can see me in the stars, hiding in the cosmos
I don't think you'll find me but baby what do I know? (what do I know?)
I refuse to be nothing even though I've sit and schemed against the heavens right above me
And all the ones on this earth that I have burdened
I am all alone yet I know I'm not deserted
To go on a journey and no destination's perfect
It doesn't matter that I don't deserve it
'Cause no one on this earth truly knows how I feel
And every word is abstract, each emotion real
Every challenge that I face an opportunity
When you've taken so much, what else is there you can do to me?
When you've taken so much, what else is there you can do to me?
And so I hide in my own head
One day I'll break out of it
I will learn and I will grow
So far down my roots won't show
I won't run and I won't hide
'Cause no one makes it out alive
You won't be around to see
But I know you'd be proud of-
Sometimes I wish that I could just forget your name
I think you knew I knew, I think you tried to care
It's so hard to be present when you're not there
You'd be proud of me and where I am
Or maybe not but I think at least you'd understand
On how I got here and why I left you
The last thing I wanted and the only thing I couldn't do
And so I hide in my own head
One day I'll break out of it
I will learn and I will grow
So far down my roots won't show
I won't run and I won't hide
'Cause no one makes it out alive
You won't be around to see
But I know you'd be proud of-
I know you know me better than I know myself
The ex speaking out of line
Never said I needed help, never said I wanted anything
That's what you inferred
I omit a mortal soul
Never coming back to earth
Yeah, you can see me in the stars, hiding in the cosmos
I don't think you'll find me but baby what do I know? (what do I know?)

I am all alone yet I know I'm not deserted

When you've taken so much, what else is there you can do to me?
