Grnng - My Haunted Valentine (Love Miser) Lyrics

Two souls joined by a smile and a stare
But now - when one looks up the other's not there
Misery loves company but the greedy won't share
Two minds race in separate despair
Back when, nothing'd keep us apart
We didn't care what nobody thought
At the end, less than friends - actin' dumb
But always saying somethin' smart
Timing was off - Shoulda been chill
When I was uptight
Too nonchalant when
I shoulda been up nights
I GREW UP so accustomed
Addicted to drama
I never realized all it took from ya
It's just a matter of time before we re-gurg
Knee-jerk words we heard growing up
When we hurt
You're no longer about me
I'm no longer about you
The prism is different
Light shifted without you

Is that your voice in the wind
Is that your face that I see in the sky
Will your memory stay with me
Til' I die

It all seemed so peaceful at the start
It was a given never driftin' apart
But Old ghosts, dead hopes and live whispers
Moved us from close to distant
Shoulda done better
No Love Vendettas
Used to be by my side
Now I can't go get her
Never thought I deserved
The best in this world
So I took the best for granted
In my girl
Not a curse but internal reverse magic
There's a voice in my head that don't want me to have
We misread the obvious - more dumb than tragic
Missing each other's words - pretending we're telepathic
Thought I was wiser, couldn't be soft
The Love Miser, insulate and seal off
None gets out, none gets in
Shut in a rusty iron lung
I designed again

Is that your voice in the wind
Is that your face that I see in the sky
Will your memory stay with me
Til' I die

Ball Bearings Blown - Friction - Back on my Grind
Without second-hand memories robbin' me blind
I watch the clock's second hand like each moment is mine
As I spot the man who never gets got - Father time
And one of these times - I'll have the time of my life
Got my bottle and my light
But ain't quite there tonight
Blundering got me wondering like Mad Hatter
Searching for the one to erase you from my gray matter
Slowly realizing she may not exist
Can't see more than ten feet in front through this mist
Sorry I wasn't there , sorry my mind slipped
That it seemed I didn't care and for the dreams we clipped
You talked about fillin' up a nursery
Instead we're filling calendars with empty anniversaries
Shoulda had a 2.0 - gave her all the good we know
Coulda had a 2.1 - taught him how life is fun
In another universe our stars only shine
Directing happy endings, scriptin' perfect lines
Hope you moving clever through all weather doing fine
Hope you're harsh when you need to be
And otherwise kind
Hearts broken even though we haven't spoken in some time
I still call you baby in my mind
I hope you polished that gold in our caved-in mine
Sincerely, your haunted Valentine

Our moments were too few
Your voice should have left along with you
With, With you, with you
