Turns Out I’m Sentimental After All

The sound of sirens carry across town,

from your new corner of LA and all the way to mine

Some lovers remain connected

long after love was rejected

My character has broken the fourth wall

Turns out I'm sentimental after all

The grass still greener on the other side

The sea of blue, the darkened sky surrender to the tide

Our love was so unexpected

Its gentle steps undetected

Now you're the only song I can recall

Appearing anywhere my shadows fall

Turns out I'm sentimental after all

In my cold independence bed I hide

and reminisce, from our first kiss to our last of many goodbyes

We tried so hard to move on

still I got lost when you found someone

I asked for this, nothing could break my fall

I broke my own heart, slammed it against the wall

only to find what's obvious to all

Turns out I'm sentimental to a fault
