I flip the page, another song

I flip the page,
another song.
This song never got a title name, and no one besides myself has heard the full version. Anytime I would write a song, I would sing it for Lacy. However, Lacy never got through the whole song without breaking down in tears. This song was hard for her to hear because she knew its meaning.

(The song is by Olivia Rodrigo, from the Guts album!!)



I have nightmares each week about that Friday in May. One phone call from you and my entire world was changed

Trust that you betrayed, confusion that still lingers
Took everything I loved and crushed it in between your fingers

And I doubt you ever think about the damage that you did
But I hold onto every detail like my life depends on it

My undying love, now I hold it like a grudge
And I hear your voice every time that I think I'm not enough

And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?

And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong

The arguments that I have won against you in my head
In the shower, in the car and in the mirror before bed
Yeah, I'm so tough when I'm alone and I make you feel so guilty
And I fantasize about a time you're a little fuckin' sorry

And I try to understand why you would do this all to me
You must be insecure, you must be so unhappy

And I know in my heart
hurt people hurt people
And we both drew blood, but, man, those cuts were never equal

And I try to be tough, but I wanna scream
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?

And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long

It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong
Ooh, do you think I deserved it all?
Ooh, your flowers filled with vitriol
You built me up to watch me fall
You have everything and you still want more

I try to be tough, I try to be mean
But even after all this, you're still everything to me
And I know you don't care, I guess that that's fine
But you know I can't let it go

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long

It takes strength to forgive, but I'm not quite sure I'm there yet
