Story Behind The Song
Reflection of self through a relationship gone sour with a significant other, conceptualized as a self-served lesson about love, and what I've learned about Love [itself] so far.

Lyrics
I Confide in me /
You Confide in you /
We checked out, the room is vacant /
'cant afford to chase another dream /
tradition(s) faded / in love-adjacent
No where in between / you and were like
"Us against We" /
[a] broken reflection,
in a house of mirrors / the images -
were limitless - my inner-sense -
our blemishes - your experience -
our differences - the lesson is...
sweep up the pieces /
the end result / we need to reach into love deeper, so we can teach it /
[cause love feels like..]
Something - we can both laugh about /
that most people judge you for,
but never been through...
(til' you're on your own)
[Love works like..]
a compliment to a stranger /
now-a-days that's like finding water
in a desert
(but you are not alone)
Obsession plays / confessions prey /
...and it doesn't - matter if -
we both ended up - stuck in our ways /
has nothin to do with why we're -
on our own
But we learned the hard way /
And in our lifetime, sometimes,
thats just...how it goes.../
we pay for life with present time /
why travel back if you're behind? /
[carry on]
we owe it to ourselves /
to know Love and Be Loved /
presently we don't know what it means
between us /
[but it felt like..]
Something - we can both laugh about /
that most people judge you for,
but never been through...
(til' you're on your own)
[Love works like..]
a compliment to a stranger /
now-a-days that's like finding water
in a desert
(but you are not alone)
[sometimes it feels like..]
a train or a plane for a ride /
Something like a carousel /
Marry-Go-Round /
(til you're on your own)
[Love works like...]
Something you share but cant rely on /
forever /
Until you make peace with who you were
and who you are now /
(when you're on your own) /
(You are not alone)
