▶︎ CREDITS Written Jacob Lee Produced Jacob Lee | Luke Palmer Timpani's Ben Dennien Cellos Kate Derepas Violins Yena Choi Mixed / Mastered Forrester Savell Artwork Maahy Abdul • ▶︎ LYRICS Not too good at goodbyes They’re not my expertise While I wish you were right That I’ve always been Someone who stays When everyone leaves I can’t be your air, if I can’t breathe Call me, when you wake up When the sun is ablaze I’ll be the charcoal, you the furnace A violent cascade ‘Cause I see that heat in your eyes Can’t keep my composure While our embers intertwine If I didn’t know you Until old age I’d forfeit all the afterlives To try this again Would I even choose you? Just like a moth to flame I’d meet my fate You’d thieve my gaze The way you magnetise me Not too good at goodbyes They’re not my expertise While I wish you were right That I’ve always been Someone who stays When everyone leaves I can’t be your air, if I can’t breathe Call in the night No matter the time Even as ashes confuse the warmth in our veins For something we desperately tried To keep in our hearts When will this cinder illuminate my glacial core? I’d rather you leave me scorched Not too good at goodbyes They’re not my expertise While I wish you were right That I’ve always been Someone who stays When everyone leaves I can’t be your air, if I can’t breathe (if I can't, if I can't) So, suffocate me instead (suffocate me instead) Extinguish whatever’s left (extinguish whatever’s left) Don’t you pick up that phone again It’s a cycle that burns us alive This existential dread Is making us desperate With you there’s no temperance Unless I - Disassociate & pull away On cuffs that I Securely placed Chained to flames That play charades & incinerate all my hopes If there’s kindling left on my bones All it offers is sorrow & smoke If you breathe it in, I just need you to know I’m no good at goodbyes They’re not my expertise While I wish you were right That I’ve always been Someone who stays I’d leave you my dying breath, as one final grave mistake Is it too late? Oh, no, no, Is it too - • Lowlyland Records ©
