Kishi Bashi - Can't Let Go, Juno Lyrics

It’s a new day
another full of heartbreak
and every time I’m checking in with myself
I’m drinking my soul away

and every time my phone lights up
my heart keeps skipping enough to give up
you know that better days still remain
cannot be insane forever

who knew?
my ingenue
that we could never be together unless
we do a deed we can’t undo

and even if I sing that song
we could be right but we could be so wrong
feed the dream, does it seem that
we’re pushing at the sun?

if you loved her,
would you fake it?
and every letter
would you burn it?
‘cause every time I hear the way
she said it
I can’t let go
can’t let go

I say if I could make you fade away
I could play the game I know so well
it’s a fair trade
many of the things I’ve said
were made from the beautiful things I regret
though the words remain, I feel the pain
cannot know if it’s worth it
never

I knew this avenue
where everybody has a piece of their heart on the street
for us all to view
and even if I feel alone
you know I’m just a man of flesh and bone
feed the dream, does it seem like we’re staring at the sun?

if you loved her,
would you fake it?
and every letter
would you burn it?
cause every time I hear the way
she said it
I can’t let go
