I always slipped your mind

I always slipped your mind By Michelle Morris 17/11/2023 I would walk 10,000 miles I would swim the ocean depths I would climb the highest mountain I would crawl and plead and beg But, what would any of these things do? Would any of it ever mean anything to you? 'Cos I was there every single time And somehow I always slipped your mind Whenever I get convinced to take you back I have to remember every single track All your BS and all your promises Mean nothing but empty words in the wind And I may be foolish, and I may be delusional But I have learned the hard way, through every transition Wisdom only comes from breaking down those walls Lessons from blood and tears and marrow given to your stories I would walk 10,000 miles I would swim the ocean depths I would climb the highest mountain I would crawl and plead and beg But, what would any of these things do? Would any of it ever mean anything to you? 'Cos I was there every single time And somehow I always slipped your mind So, I've moved away for good this time I'm out of your orbit, just like your mind I will fly through the Universe to new places And I will find love and light and sweet graces And I may be wishful, and I may be crazy But I understand life through the dark and the haziness Experience and heartbreak can take us away from ourselves When we're put back together, we have to do our best to stay well Oh, you can stand there and look upon the moon now Oh, you can cry there and regret your hurtful hours But, I am free now, free to be my own star studded sky And I will live and love again, I won't lay down and die Oh, oh, oh... I... I would walk 10,000 miles I would swim the ocean depths I would climb the highest mountain I would crawl and plead and beg But, what would any of these things do?
