    Lyrics:
    Hold me up
    let me sing ’til I’m untouchable
    I get what I want
    I know how to talk myself out of trouble
    I saw us as two halves
    but two halves of a whole
    And now if I can help it
    I barely see her at all
    I’m a walking open wound
    And I can’t stop the weeping mmm
    Don’t say that everything
    Happens for a reason
    Which way’s the water
    ‘cause I can’t stop asking about it
    It’s a lot to be home
    but it’s nothing like you said
    I saw us as four brothers
    but four brothers in war
    The meal’s on the table
    the dinner’s at the door
    I’m a walking open wound
    And I can’t stop the weeping mmm
    Don’t say that everything
    Happens for a reason
    Used to daydream I might find
    Find her with the light on
    Don’t say that it’s alright
    to be a little frightened
    Just one window lit, there is a silhouette
    Somebody’s vacuuming while everyone’s gone home
    I wonder do they feel alone
    I watch the sun go down behind the storage tower
    Where they found a body seven years ago
    It doesn’t feel like it’s been long enough to live here untouched by that
    But everything bothers me
    At least if no one else does, I know what I mean
    I guess the weeping’s still coming out of me

    Can we just take a moment to appreciate the lyric “Don’t say that everything happens for a reason”

    "I watch the sun go down behind the storage tower / Where they found a body seven years ago / It doesn’t feel like it’s been long enough to live here untouched by that" What a visceral line. Love it.

    With such horrors going on in the world right now, and the importance of not ignoring them and raising our voices for the oppresed, I am only just now allowing myself to take little breaks and enjoy music the way I normally do but hadn't felt like doing in many weeks. This song feels like such a balm, I love it 💛

    I can't stop listening! It's as if I hear my own story. I divorced 10 years ago now, and it still hurts, the beautiful memories still cut like knifes and at the same time kept me alive .
    What a beautiful perfect song!

      Just another female singer-songwriter, but once you've heard one you've heard them all am I right!!

      Sometimes, when quite remarkable things are made quite similarly, there may be something notable going on that is only discernible through the production until much later. I wonder if there isn't something of that kind at play here.
