Branching off (Feat.Qsavage) (redux)

## Hook/Pre-Chorus (8 bars)

(Feelings that never faded,

Futures that were abated) x2

At the end of the day

We were on branching pathways

Oh hell I burn for her embrace

Cuz I still have our memories

They won't fade

## Verse 1 (16 bars)

Memories I once buried deep

Risen back up as if it was

A Friday on the 13th

And with time I can almost say

I see it clearer, the demons

That inhabited my brain

Demons that interfered

With my vision of you

But now the views not just black and white

There's color in the grain now

There is depth to my hindsight

I refuse to place any blame in your hands

Deep deep down I know you understand

that i would throw my life away

For a day of fake attention

## Pre-Chorus (8 bars)

At the end of the day

We are on separate pathways

And though I long for her embrace

I have our memories of what we were

## Chorus (16 bars)

I can't place any blame in your hands

I know deep down you understand

Understand that my hands have been grasping for you

But grabbing air, a cold embrace, it's not fair

But I know deep within you are aware

That's why you've been so distant

Won't stop me from wishin

That wherever you are

I was there

## Instrumental Break (8 bars)

## Verse 2 (16 bars)

Years have fallen like autumn leaves

Each one taking pieces of what I believed

Time should heal but sometimes it deceives

Leaving wounds that silently seethe

I've walked through shadows of what could have been

Constructed futures where we weren't just a has-been

Replayed conversations, reimagined scenes

But reality remains unforeseen

The distance between us grows with each breath

A universe expanding since our paths diverged

No longer orbiting what we once preserved

Yet memory keeps our connection unreserved

## Pre-Chorus Reprise

At the end of the day

We are on separate pathways

And though I long for her embrace

I have our memories of what we were

## Chorus Reprise

I can't place any blame in your hands

I know deep down you understand

Understand that my hands have been grasping for you

But grabbing air, a cold embrace, it's not fair

But I know deep down you are aware

That's why you've been so distant

Won't stop me from wishin

That wherever you are

I was there

## Bridge/Outro

All I need is one day

Reminiscent of childhood

To convince me that there might be

A reason to the intensity

Validation for what I'm feeling

How does one cope with these things

Without breaking down,voices peeling

Away, parts of myself that I built up for you,

signs of passion that you misconstrued

Left alone to fight my own fights

taper my own thoughts,

still

I see reminders of you

In the corners of my mind, I seek

To find the words you never need to speak

Time may twist and tear apart

But I cherish every part of you in my heart

(Feelings that never faded,

Futures that were abated) x2

Though we walk on distant shores

I’ll remember you evermore
