lyrics

I am pessimistic, I can't help it
so please don't make this into something big
I'm not anticipating, I'm not trying to run
but if you break my heart, there's one thing I want

if you leave me sobbing in my bed
if you leave me to the rushing in my head
if we split the world in two; one half for me, and one for you
all I ask is that you remember me well

if I ever hurt you I'll make it right
I never plan for my words to bite
I want you to keep thinking I'm good
don't let me be the villain; not again, not with you
I mean everything I say, so believe this to be true
I can't become the villain; not again, not to you

so, if the ocean washes us apart
if the distance proves to be too far
if the best that we can do is kindly agree that it fell through
all I ask is that you remember me as good

never say that I did you wrong
never haunt me like a song
never be the reason I can't sleep in my bed
never sigh about me with your friends
never shake your head at the thoughts of me
never be so hurt by them that you can't breathe
never curse my name and pray I go to hell
all I ask is that you remember me well

if you leave me sobbing in my bed
if you leave me to the rushing in my head
if we split the world in two; one half for me, and one for you
all I ask is that you remember me well

Romanus recommends:

Exile
by Johanna Glaza

her ethereal and yet earthy voice, the muted piano, and the soft beats put one in mind of a woodland sprite wandering through a dark forest. this is dark and sad music, yet somehow soothing anyway. Romanus

Stray Fantasies
by Mint Julep

this album's smooth combination of crisp synthpop textures with analog sounds and piles of reverb-rich vocals stunned me. I was bopping while transcending into space; so much fun! Romanus
