Lyrics

Verse 1
I met you on a starless night
Shadows in wayward headlights
You never asked for rescue
But I think that I was right
Windows open, winter wind
Blows through the room I shut you in
No longer a refuge this place
smells like fear and bleach

Pre-Chorus 1
I tell myself it matters
But what matters in the end

Chorus 1
I wanted to do right by you
I hope it means something someday
You deserved love
But life only brought you pain
When you needed warmth
You got another closed door
I tell myself it means something
But I just don’t know anymore

Verse 2
Fluorescent light on a steel table
Steady hands behind a scalpel
Past lives in the passenger seat
Distant from familiar streets
I can’t give you what you need
Watching, waiting patiently
I can’t give you what you need
I hope you can forgive me

Pre-Chorus 2
I tell myself it matters
But what matters in the end

Chorus 2
I wanted to do right by you
I hope it means something someday
You deserved love
But life only brought you pain
When you needed warmth
You got another closed door
I tried to make it better
But I just don’t know anymore

Bridge
Love slams shut like a trap
Kindness always leave a scar
Drifting through liminal space
Concrete without a place

Final Chorus
I wanted to do right by you
I hope it means something someday
You were not the storm
Just caught out in the rain (just afraid)
When you needed warmth
You got another closed door
I need for this to mean something
‘Cause not much matters anymore

Outro
Dawn breaks on empty streets
Cold morning light
Maybe some night
you can sleep without fear
Maybe someday
you can let someone in
Then maybe it meant something
When you don’t remember I was here
