about

Before I was diagnosed with cancer, I thought the only way for me to have a family (after losing most of my blood family) was through romantic relationships. The breakdown of these relationships during active treatment was upsetting, but eventually I saw that it was my friendships that made my family and that I had a large one. This song is about gaining freedom from compulsory romantic relationships and sex.

lyrics

V1: You showed up like a pop song that’s everywhere until it’s gone.
And you didn’t do much for me but take the melody.
Sometimes I think I hear you at night out of the cars that drive by.
But I know you’re just singing lies. Now I wish I’d never learn the lines.

Chorus: Since I almost died I’ve been living more.
I don’t need your tears. I don’t need your door.
I don’t need an anchor anymore.
Since I almost died I’ve been living more.


V2: You thought you were a gift, but all I felt was loneliness.
That bell was always going to ring. Found out love means different things.
But I don’t have to get caught in blaming you for not.
You thought you burned down my house, but I found my own way.

Chorus
