Saying Goodbye is Exhausting (feat. Justin Vivian Bond)

You made me a deal that I'd never feel like I had to worry (about you)
That wherever you are, you'd keep your heart safe from harm (whatever happened to that)
We've been here before, and you know I adore you
But you thought that you could put out fires with a look
And the world around brought you down
Took your hands off the wheel, and life overtook.

Over the hill there's a place where none of this happened
Over the bridge you're still there looking up at the sky
Over the sea, there's a place where you could have been happy
But all too soon I feel the pain of your loss
And saying goodbye is exhausting

If I feel that it's not real, I hope you can forgive me
For starting to write to you time to time before stopping myself.
I've been before and I'll be here again: trying to put out fires with a kiss
But in your mind is a world that I didn't understand
And it came to this

Chorus

Saying goodbye is exhausting
Passing the time is exhausting
Trying to cry is exhausting
Staying alive is exhausting

Over the hill there's a place where we haven't met yet
And you're under a tree with a cigarette, looking up at the sky.
Over the sea, there's a place we should have been happy, belly to the moon
But too soon I feel the pain of your loss sting
Cos saying goodbye is exhausting.

Chorus

Saying goodbye is exhausting
Trying to cry is exhausting
Staying alive is exhausting
Trying to cry is just
