Raspberry

Oh, don’t be such a fool
Don’t you know there’s nothing you can do
To bring 'em back even when they swear
That they will always love you true?
So you gnash your teeth, a mummy cursed to breathe
Stumble 'round month to month in the backdrop of your scene
And you know it’s a slow burn to learn to live with what’s missing
Parts of yourself you gave away
Parts of yourself you gave away
Oh, aloha, hello, goodbye
After all, there’s nothing left to say
But wish the best for them in the end
And sweep the broken glass away
You grit your teeth like a server in the weeds
Start to taste the food you eat, see colors in all the grays
And you know it’s a slow burn to learn to live with the missing
Parts of yourself you gave away
I know you’ll do it again someday
