Devon Halliday - Relieved

Darling you're welcome, I'm wearing mine out again
Gritted your teeth and I'm bearing it out again
Grass on my sleeves, hear the phones click to capture it
How good we look in stills and slow motion
I curate a smile, I can hang this one up on my face for a while
And if anyone asks if I'm fine, I am fine, I am fine
With my mouth laughing at your usual lines
Tell them one more time how we met
In case you forget why you still haven't left
But there is a house I'm gunning for
With our names on the mailbox or door
Waking up slow, slate clean again
No loose threads from the fight before
I will not want to be anyone better than me
You'll be relieved
Don't tell your friends how I'm up again, down again
This is a party and we are enjoying it
I don't mind dancing, don't mind if we only sit, our elbows tucked in
Everything tastes the same, your friends are wasted
And I had some strategy, now I can't place it
To talk myself round, calm me down, kick me out of my head
But it's fixed on something that you could have said
Man it could have salvaged the night
You know I don't like making hell for you, right
There is a house I'm gunning for
With our names on the mailbox or door
Waking up slow, slate clean again
No loose threads from the fight before
I will not want to be anyone better than me
You'll be relieved
Spilling your drinks and I'm spoiling your fun
And I'm sorry but also can I just say one thing
I've broken my promise to break no more promises
But we wouldn't be here if you'd just been honest with me at the onset
My heart in my hands and my flaws on your doorstep not part of your plans
I've been spelling it out, I've been sucking it in
And I'm sorry but also it's all I can give to the life that we're trying to live
There is a house I'm gunning for with our names on the door
Waking up slow, slate clean
There is a house I'm gunning for
With our names on the mailbox or door
Waking up slow, slate clean again
No loose threads from the fight before
I will not want to be anyone better than me
You'll be relieved
