lyrics

"This track is about running into an ex at a party and realizing there's a lot of unresolved feelings there. It's about the weight of words that you want to say out loud but can't." – Gemma


You saw me across the room
Flashing lights in the night, suddenly I knew
That you missed me too
And you looked beautiful tonight
Couldn’t tell you in a way that would sound alright

What happens when two lovers meet again
and the memories flood back?
What happens when you slam the door
But it stubbornly stays open just a crack?
Do I want you back?

My stitches have all healed
But my skin still longs to feel you close to me
But can I forgive and forget
All the pain you caused me?
But can I forgive and forget
All the days of agony?
I’m not your baby anymore

Can I forgive, forget?
I don’t think I can this time
Can we forgive, forget?
I don’t think we can this time
Can I forgive, forget?
I don’t think I can this time
Can we forgive, forget?
I don’t think we can this time

No, not this time
No, not this time
No, not this time
No, not this time
