Dirty Word

from Better. by Gus Rachels

lyrics

Welcome to my worst fear
Something came that I didn’t know was near
One day you are here
The next I look up and you’ve disappeared

I thought my future was set but I was wrong
I’ve got no direction now that you’re gone

Looking far and wide
Trying to picture anybody else by my side
But no matter how I try
All I want to do is turn back time

I don't know how to sleep without my arms wrapped around you
I don’t know how to cry without your shoulder to lean into

Spending days at home
The silence beats in my ears like a drum
And I thought you were the one
Not just something else to learn from

And though it might seem easier to fall for someone else
I can’t grow up until I’m okay by myself

And when you left you took a part of me
But I can’t fill that with anyone but me
Oh I can’t fill that with anyone but me

And I don’t care what I said
And I don’t care what you heard
Alone isn’t a dirty word

And you were all I know
So how could I let you go
But I have gotta grow
Even if it happens slow

And I am gonna try
To see more in my life
And you were all I know
So that’s why I am letting go
