SKY FERREIRA - TRACES (Hunger TV)
I was just a girl in the fantasy
Dreaming that you would be good for me
But now I see your greed
Now that I bleed
This time I’m going to set you free…I’m getting rid of traces, the traces of you…
ALPINES - COCOON
I gave you all you wanted
Didn’t I, love?
I gave you all you needed
Was it enough?Wrap me up in this cocoon
I’ll never need the truth
All of this time
I understand why…I want you
More than I think you do
And I used to
Be blinded by youHave I been chasing shadows?
Show me the light
Are we on different pages
Am I reading this right, right?
ALPINES - DRIVE
Should I run
Or should I stay and fight for you
Like I did when I shouldn’t have
Fight for you
Like I never did enough
TMI, but this is my five-year toxic relationship with my ex-boyfriend. I invested so much to make it work, even though there were obvious signs he wasn’t committed. I dumped him after every infidelity but fought with myself to allow him to convince me to take him back. When I started applying to graduate school he dumped me. “I don’t think we’ll survive long-distance. I still love you and want to be with you, so I might change my mind. But I can’t be in this relationship right now.”
I was devastated and I blamed myself, I told him I would change, like I never did enough. After a couple of weeks, I started realizing…
I’m no longer going to fight for you like I did when I shouldn’t have, fight for you like I never did enough. Good riddance. When someone loves you, they never cheat. If it is done more than once, it is not a mistake. When someone loves you, they don’t support you when things get tough (such as graduate school).
