You always get quiet when I'm almost gone Like you know that's the part that used to get me I came over sure this time Didn't practice what to say Didn't need to We both know what's been waiting here You look at me like maybe I got it wrong I've seen that look before Don't try an' understand me now Don't get soft when I finally got hard enough to leave Don't say the right thing two years late Don't give me what I needed then I know this part I've been here before So don't try an' understand me now This time I gotta go You move closer I step back Not this time There's still enough space to keep this simple Then you start talking like you've been listening all along There it is I know this version of us The one that only shows up when something's ending You get careful You start listening For a night or two everything changes Then somehow we're right back here Don't try an' understand me now Don't look at me like you finally understand Don't touch my arm like nothing happened Don't tell me it's different this time I know this part I've been here before So don't try an' understand me now This time I gotta go Maybe you mean it That's what makes it worse Maybe tonight you really heard me Maybe every word is exactly what you mean Tonight isn't the problem Tomorrow always was I've stayed long enough to know what comes after So don't be careful Don't find the perfect words Don't turn into what I kept asking for Not because I don't see it I do I just know how long it lasts Don't try an' understand me now I mean it Don't finally listen now that I'm done asking Don't make tonight another reason to forget how many times we've done this I know this part I've been here before So don't try an' understand me now This time I gotta go This time I gotta go You always get quiet when I'm almost gone Tonight I heard you I'm still going >─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─< © 2026 Govannon · Onath Lorn Audio Human-directed · AI-generated music Concept, lyric development, creative direction, editing, refinement, and final selection by Govannon Unauthorized copying, reproduction, re-uploading, redistribution, or commercial use is prohibited All rights reserved >─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─+─<
