about

A Good Friday song to help with your feelings of abandonment.

lyrics

I didn't miss you as much as you told me I would
I didn't miss you at all when you'd gone
I didn't miss you as much when you kissed me and said
I'd have a sad face for all of my days

I didn't miss all the strings that you tied to the ceilings
To display a tiny world that you'd made me
There's relief in the room with that fishing line moon
Just a feeling, I'm so glad just to see
That my ceiling's a ceiling

I didn't miss you as much as I knew that I should
I didn't miss you all seven months long
I didn't miss you as much as I missed going out
In that shirt that I'd wear just on Sundays

I didn't miss all the words that you taped to the ceiling
All those plastered "I love you's" to save me
There's relief in the room with that fishing line tune
Just a feeling, I'm so glad just to see
That my ceiling's a ceiling

Oh you couldn't fool me now
And I would have sold you out
If I'd known that you'd know you would leave
