about

Thank you to Patrick for tickling the accordion flaps on this track. He is one of the most talented musicians I've ever had the privilege to work with.

lyrics

Did you know I’m self-involved
Did you know, did you know that I was so small
Despite your height, you’re microscopic too
I don’t hang on your every word
I don’t haunt you; I’m just a curse
And you kept me a secret
I made you the talk of the town

I still free fall when you tell me not to jump
I smile a little smile all while I’m in a slump
Cause the door’s been bolted shut, as it should’ve been a long time ago
My heart just stopped breaking for you, as far as you know

Does it scare you to know that I felt this strong
or did you just expect to stay the night and be gone
Cause you slammed the door and woke me up, I cried all morning long
And I hoped you’d come back, I suppose I was wrong

I admire you from afar; I’ve only touched you once
Never told you how I felt, Cause I thought I’d be enough
But you moved out of state and I’m not allowed to give one fuck
I always wanted love, I knew it wasn’t with us
We used to lay in bed and watch Lord of the Rings
I’d gladly be your queen, but you’ll never be my king
I’m slightly overwhelmed; I’ve been here for the five months passed
And I’m sulking cause I know you only liked me when I was on my back

You kept me a secret, I made you the talk of the town
