All I wanted was an honest something.
All you gave me were the sweetest nothings.
Your animal eyes had left this lover blind to fall for a kiss and a beautiful lie.
You left a letter on my pillowcase.
Laced with the smell of a warm embrace. When I opened it I knew I'd never see your face again. You said...
I'll be chasing the horizon line.
I'm leaving this old life behind.
It's not you, it's me.
It's not me, it's us.
We were never enough
So don't try to turn me around.
Frantically, I pressed pen against the paper. In hopes that one day I'd write you away. But I could never erase the house on Nevada Drive where I fell for a kiss and a beautiful lie.
I washed your makeup off my pillowcase. Clean slate, I'm filling all the empty space. When I close my eyes I hope I never see your face again.
You said...
I'll be chasing the horizon line.
I'm leaving this old life behind.
It's not you, it's me.
It's not me, it's us.
We were never enough
So don't try to turn me around.
I'm heading towards solid ground.
I hope this letter finds you well.
Love, Lorelai
Take a breath.
Take a seat.
Take a chance on me.
I'll give you everything.
That's what you told me.
That's what you told me. (x2)
I'll be chasing the horizon line.
I'm leaving this old life behind.
It's not you, it's me.
It's not me, it's us.
We were never enough
So don't try to turn me around.
I'm heading towards solid ground.
I hope this letter finds you well,
Love, Lorelai
Take a breath, take a seat, take a chance on me.
I'll give you everything.
That's what you told me.
That's what you told me.
