An alt-country musing on blind, post-relationship hope, on failure and on the harrowing aftermath of quashed dreams.

lyrics

We broke up a year ago,
I've got the date on my phone,
When she sleeps, when she sleeps,
Well I hope she sleeps alone.

But I see that she moved on,
Got a new man and all,
Saw his face, saw his face,
It was posted on her wall.

There was nothing I could do,
There was nothing I could say,
I guess I always knew,
But I tried anyway.

When I tried to win her back,
I tried to win her back,
I tried to win her back,
Her new love got in the way.

Oh I had such big dreams,
I had such plans,
That I'd made, that I'd made,
To attempt to win her back.

Firstly, to see her,
Well I needed a ruse,
COA, COA,
Was the perfect excuse.

(Bridge)
(Chorus x2)

They don't know how hard it is,
When a big plan falls apart,
They know that I hit the ground,
Just they don't know how hard.

There was nothing I could've done,
There was nothing I could've said,
Like Huck, Im so lonesome
I most wished I was dead.

(Chorus)
