We walked in the same direction, but we both got lost

we didn’t notice our hands slowly slipping away from each other

by the time we did it was too late

something about you changed

because when I reached for your hand

you pulled away

I was so shocked I didn’t know what to say

we went our separate ways that day

but I still stayed on that path retracing our steps

trying to find what went wrong

I hope you know I grew my hair out long

And your sister’s just fine

did you find what you were looking for?

Some escape from your skin

You know that place you were dreaming of

Where all light comes in?

They tell me, “grief is just love letting go”

They tell me they don’t know who I am anymore

I just have never shown my feelings before

but I’ll keep growing my hair out long

Just to cover my eyes

so that no one can see me cry.
