I based my love on pure affection-- My fault, my bad, I thought I gave your life direction. Guess I was wrong. You aren't half the man I thought you were; Gave me your heart, then you went home to her. An old sad song, Ooh, I was wrong. The river crafted these words long ago. The lesson learned is what I should've known. But here we are. Your words were laced with whiskey and regret. I can't get over all the hours I'd spent. Chasing the stars, Ooh, here we are. I think you knew right from the start how we'd end, So kiss me on the cheek and call me your friend. Don't be a coward now, I know you. So sick of second-best despite your truth. See me. See me. I guess we're back to where we started now. Awkward silence we should fill, but how? I won't be made a fool. I'll see you when the weather changes, love. The clouds will clear and sun will shine above. I will learn from you. I no fool. I will learn from you.

sad girl autumn is a universal experience

This song is like if dodie and hozier had a baby

omg y'all she's back with an original edit: we stan the two strings on the guitar

literally 39 seconds in and this is the best song of 2019*??? * - besides lights up by harry of course

did not realize how much i missed hearing rachel say “consider the coconut”

I really need this on Spotify 😭✊

“Kiss me on the cheek and call me your friend” felt that :/

I always come back to this song, so healing🌱

This song makes me scream Rachel Zegler as Eurydice someday

OH MY HEART CAN HANDLE THIS

“So sick of second best despite your truth”

STAY SMILING STAY SINGING AND ALWAYS CONSIDER THE COCONUT!! Omg I missed that

I love the clarity of her voice omg

Your voice is so angelic and flawless I can’t wait to see you in west side story

....did she get even better than before?! I didn’t think that was possible 😭😭

So like when’s this hitting Spotify

ok but the "i was wrong" harmony SLAPS

Who else has been here since she had 300 followers and is sooo proud of herrrrrrrr🙌👏👏😄

I can picture this so vividly. This is so beautiful and reminds me of the whole point of writing music: to tell a story.

sing, girl! sing ♥️

Its an old song Its an old tale from way back when But we sing it anyway

it fills up my heart seeing you create your own music with that special glow and energy you put into everything. you're amazing and i love you :(

WHEN YOU DID THE CONSIDER THE COCONUT TELL ME WHY I STARTED CRYING you have come so far, my gosh 🥺
