Verse 1
On day ya got someone, next day, might don't.
It's a quick, cold drop from 'hello' to 'gone.'
The silence in this room screams louder than the dawn.
It’s all good, eventually they will try to be, but I won’t.
Chorus
Should have told me it was gonna be a one-night stand.
'Cause now I'm stuck with these affects in my hand.
A residue of feeling, a ghost of a plan.
I keep replaying moments I can’t understand.
Should have never tried to be more than friends.
Verse 2
So I continue on waiting for the right one for me,
Trying to convince my soul that I'm supposed to be free.
But every time I check my heart, the lock is still broken,
By a sweet lie whispered, a promise that was token.
But in my head, it’s sad, I think it’ll never be found.
Just another empty chair at a table for one, spinning round.
Chorus
Should have told me it was gonna be a one-night stand.
'Cause now I'm stuck with these affects in my hand.
A residue of feeling, a ghost of a plan.
I keep replaying moments I can’t understand.
Should have never tried to be more than friends.
Bridge
Every day on I just try to distract those thoughts,
Chasing cheap fixes, tying my mind in knots.
Of loneliness that I can’t never cure.
Yeah, I run from the feeling, but it follows me, sure.
It’s going to always be on my mind...
I try to forget, but the memories are unkind.
Drinking and smoking don’t help but to waste time.
It just paints a blur over the permanent line.
Verse 3 / Breakdown
The sun comes up the same way, over the city street,
Another mirror image of bittersweet defeat.
I pick up the pieces, the fragile, shattered glass,
Not hoping they’ll fit, but learning how to let the moments pass.
Maybe the 'right one' is just a fairytale told,
But I’m still standing here, heart broken, not cold.
Outro
Affects in my hand...
Should have never tried...
Should have told me it was a one-night stand...
Affects in my hand...
Would you like me to suggest a few potential artists or genres that might fit the sound and mood of these lyrics?
