about

Written in July 2017. Gay heartbreak anthem.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mind of mine
Please remember this night
Simple but beautiful
The way the light bounced off her smile

And curse my stomach
And my nose and throat
For aching, running, aching, distracting me
From all she is and was

[Chorus]
I kissed her cheek
Don’t want her feeling like me
Sick and terrified as I’ll ever be

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh

[Verse 2]
Mind of mine
Why can’t I speak you clearly?
I’m lucky that she saw right through me
I planned on staying in hiding

And curse my fears
And my thoughts of failing
For robbing me of hours of sleep
Making it a chore to breathe

[Chorus]
I kissed her cheek
Don’t want her feeling like me
Sick and terrified as I’ll ever be

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh

[Bridge]
I understand
Oh I agree
I grabbed her hand
As I pulled her into me

Better like this
Distance to grow
But this is the worst feeling
I have ever known

No, no, no
No, no
No

[Chorus/Outro]
I kissed her cheek
Don’t want her feeling like me
Sick and terrified as I’ll ever be

I kissed her cheek
Don’t want her feeling like me
Sick and Terrified as I’ll ever be

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Ohhh
