Yesterday was meant to be our anniversary
Now all that remains is a sour taste
Sorry, we couldn‘t make it that far
When you’re healing from a broken leg or arm
It seems to take so long
To heal what we have broken
I dreamt I’d been invited to a party thrown by your new love
To celebrate the expectation of your first child
I blame the wintertime
Exhausted and sleep deprived
All emotions rush to the surface
Like exposed electrical wires
Then I finally cracked the code
Of why I get buried under the snow
The more seasons that unfold, the more I fear the cold
It felt so strange, to hear your ‘Happy Birthday’
Did all the love we have, simply evaporate?
At our friends wedding
You just stared out into space
Shuffled your feet, talked of your travels
Turned, and walked away
Now that I’ve moved on
I don’t question what went wrong
As the bitterness turns (repeated)
As the bitterness turns to sweetness and then fades into the sun…
Peach, nectarine sweet summer
So far removed from waking up dead in the wintertime.
