A song about the reality of navigating relationships through addiction. I worked on this song with my friend Juliet because we both have experienced the traumas associated with being blind in addiction and how it can affect others. Thank you all for listening and continuing to support the journey. If you wish to talk about your reactions to this song you can always reach out to me. Juliet is also the person who sang with me in Good Friends Are Hard to Find. Thanks for being a pal.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I first met you
I couldn’t remember
Whether you were beautiful
Too many shots and a broken bottle
When I first met you
Your eyes were wide
Free of the ghosts
And free of the lies
OOOH Oooh oOOH oOOH (2x)
[Chorus]
This is the part
Where we start to see
That none of us are meant to be
This is the part
Where we start to see
That none of us are meant to be
[Verse 2]
Now we are here
I am full of fear
I don’t even know if I want you with me
Liquid courage takes away
The pain you feel in every day
[Chorus]
This is the part
Where we start to see
That none of us are meant to be
This is the part
Where we start to see
That none of us are meant to be
[Breakdown]
Look in the mirror, what do you see?
Fading reflections of who we used to be
And I won’t meet you at the bottom of that bottle…
We’re not meant to be (x12???)
I’m so faded
I’m so jaded
