HER

✨🐙 Lyrics by CalamariDreams 🐙✨ ⸻ [Verse 1] Staring at the ceiling while the solar winds blow. You’re a supernova that I used to think I know. Now I'm sipping on the bottom shelf, toxic and slow. Drowning out the gravity that tells me let you go. Saw you at the venue on the edge of the map. Had her hand locked tight like a bear in a trap. I could heal the fractures that you hide in your chest. Treat you like a king, leave you highly impressed. But I’m dizzy on the high-proof, spinning out of line. Traded all my stardust just to wish that you were mine. Now I’m staggering through standard time, losing my grip. Another shot of ether just to wet my lower lip. [Chorus] But that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her. Every road you take just leads to her. Every piece of you still needs her first. I can’t change the way your whole world works. But that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her. I keep loving you, it only hurts. I was never who your heart deserved… Cause that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her [Verse 2] Walking through the smoke, trying not to make a scene. Absinthe dreams got me acting real mean. I would give you oceans while she gives you a drop. Got a pocket full of rye and a heart that won't stop. But the truth is a chaser that I can’t quite swallow. Leaving every chamber of my ribcage hollow. She’s the North Star pulling on your compass string. I’m a broken satellite that can’t find a thing. Conversations with the bartender, screaming your name. Matching every planet to a different kind of shame. Could’ve been your cosmos, could’ve been your peace. Instead I’m in the corner waiting for the pulse to cease. [Chorus] But that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her. Every road you take just leads to her. Every piece of you still needs her first. I can’t change the way your whole world works. But that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her. I keep loving you, it only hurts. I was never who your heart deserved… Cause that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her [Bridge] (Beat drops out. Just a pulsing) Well… this is embarrassing. Should’ve known I’d do this shit again. Keep saying, “You’ll be fine.” Sure. Guess I never learn, I just endure. Maybe I’m addicted to impossible things. Maybe disappointment likes the way I think. Yeah… Good talk. [Chorus] But that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her. Every road you take just leads to her. Every piece of you still needs her first. I can’t change the way your whole world works. But that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her. I keep loving you, it only hurts. I was never who your heart deserved… Cause that life ain’t for us, it breathes for her
