about

Inspired by "Val Jester" by The National.

lyrics

The paint is chipping all around the windowsill
There are cracks running up the walls
There are holes that were drilled
With good intentions, all those plans never came to fruition

You took your ashtray and most of your clothes
You told me to keep your mattress and turned to go
So the first thing I did was grab some detergent and Clorox
To scrub every stain, every smell, every trace of you

I refused your letters; I blocked all your calls
I got rid of the pictures but I’m still stuck
With all of these holes in the wall

I’m just scared a day will come that the world will
Decide, “You’ve been hurting too long”
And when I try to show you the bruises that ache
In every vein and you’ll tell me, “I see nothing”
I can fill pages, I’ll play the game
And I’ll weep every time I hear that song’s refrain

People keep asking, “Why’d you come here?
Where if the winters don’t kill you, someone else will”
And as years have gone by, I shake my head and sigh
And I’ll tell you, “I wish that I knew.”
