Not You versuri

Not You lyrics by Ginger Winn

What?
How? Why?
Could that smile
Possibly hide
Any sadness in your eyes
Trying to sift through all the texts
And read between the lines
Scrolling through your messages
Like what did I miss
Playing voicemails
And trying to find the shift that
That led to this

How long did you wait
How long did you suffer
How’d you get out of bed every day
How long did you wait
How’d you get from the covers
Find out that I know nothing everyday

I’m sorry I couldn’t see
See the signs
I called you up
And told you I
Admired you
And your
Beautiful life
You paused and sighed
Said, „thank you”
But it didn’t feel right
I’m sorry I couldn’t
Figure out why
Until I read the headline

Death by suicide
How could I be so blind?

How long did you wait
How long did you suffеr
How’d you get out of bed evеryday
How long did you wait
How’d you get from the covers
Find out that I know nothing everyday

My friend
My friend
Why why why

Give me something I need
A rationalization
Half an explanation
Of why like this
This isn’t how it’s supposed to end
Not for you my friend

You held it all together
Kept it under the rug
What in the world did you keep
Under that hat (all the bad)
I wished you opened your lid and
Let me in
There’s always a way out
There’s always an escape plan

You were surrounded by all the
Love in the world
Not a single ounce of hate
I don’t know what’s worse
The loss
Or the revelation of your life of pain

How long did you wait
How long did you suffer
How’d you get out of bed every day
How long did you wait
How’d you get from the covers
Find out that I know nothing every day

I’m sorry I couldn’t see
See the signs
I called you up
And told you I
Admired you
And your
Beautiful life
You paused and sighed
Said thank you
But it didn’t feel right

Something’s not right
With you
