Introdução:
Dm F
The whole point of me recording right now
Dm F
Is to hold myself accountable for the feelings I still feel
Dm F
I thought it was over, thought I was moving forward
Dm F
But I guess that's why I have this, to show me what's real
Dm F
The perils of keepings your ex-wife's phone in your possession
Dm F
You're only really saying you've put the past to rest
Dm F
It is all too easy to feed your old obsession
Dm F
You wanna prove you're moved on, let's put it to the test
F G F G
So I turn on my speakers, plug them in to the jack
F G Dm
But I wasn't prepared for how it'd feel to listen back
F
It was a painful little listen back
Dm
I had a little listen back
G
My first and last listen back
Am C Em7
And I heard you cry
Dm7 F G Dm
And I heard 3 minutes of unfiltered honesty
Am Em D F
I realized I still love you
Dm F
Tonight I heard 3 distant voices
Dm F
A trio of myself saying goodbye
Dm F
I turned over in bed, torn apart by past choices
Dm F
Time to check the record, the record wouldn't lie
F G F G
So I slipped out of bed, made myself a small snack
F G Dm
And I put on my headphones and had another listen back
F
It was a painful little listen back
Dm
I had a little listen back
G
That was my last listen back
G C Em7 Dm F
And I heard us fight, but I was a coward
G Dm7 Em7
And I ran away again, that wasn't right
F G D
And I can't afford to be a coward anymore
Dm F
Another part of adulting is admitting when you're wrong
Dm F
And doing the hard thing you need to do for yourself
Dm F
For 8 years I tried to tell myself stay strong
Dm F
As the guilty of what I'd done destroyed my mental health
Dm F
You all know what I'm holding and what I just completed
Dm F
Though hearing my own voice has never felt this strange
Dm F
You were right to leave the record, you were right to give me distance
Dm F
Something deep inside of me is ready now to change
F G F G
This time when I listened, I only made it through half
F G Dm
Because with 16 answers of mine missing, I can't just listen back
F
It's not enough to listen back
G
I can't just listen back
Am Bb Dm
I have to do more than listen back
F
It's not enough to listen back
G
I can't just listen back
Am Bb Dm F
I have to do more than listen back
