About Six Years

“Whatever you do, never run back to what broke you.”
– Frank Ocean

[Verse 1]

It’s 6pm on a Friday, and all I could think of is you
For the way you made my heart go wild, and tossing the fatigue into the blue
As I gather my bags and trainers and head to practice, somewhere I am certain you are not to be too
I just look at my phone, looking for music until I read a text saying “I miss you”

[Pre-Chorus]

Six years have done quite a number on me
As I find myself to be half the man I used to be
There is nothing like finally being whole again
But when you cross my mind

[Chorus 1]

The blame game is just not made for me
But seeing everything that went wrong when we were blind
All these years, and yet I have learned just one thing
That no matter how much I loved you, it was time for that old version of me to fade

[Verse 2]

Burning bridges, with legs strong enough to carry me above new mountains
I might smaller today, but my inner strength has grown
I am still healing to this day, but no one has time to worry about blood stains
We’ve had our trip together, you got off, and I’m still breathing
About to develop a heart proud to be shown

[Pre-Chorus]

Six years have done quite a number on me
As I find myself to be half the man I used to be
There is nothing like finally being whole again
But when you cross my mind

[Chorus 2]

Oh my dear, how this is killing me
To have those memories just come back and haunt my mind
It took so long to feel like I could be worthy of anything
Until the thought of you comes back to resurge the errors I’ve made

Here I am, enjoying a summer with friends in Italy
Working out, dancing, feeling at home with a constant grind
I hope things are working out well for you, and that you’ve found your new king
On my mind, I’ve embraced those new changes
Where hounds heal, and scars just fade

[Pre-Chorus]

Six years have done quite a number on me
As I find myself to be half the man I used to be
There is nothing like finally being whole again
But when you cross my mind
