I've also been thinking about what lyrics to share this week and I figured out early what song it was going to be from - the
rest of the week was trying to figure out
which lyrics from that song to share. It was a near impossible task - it's an amazing song, I think.
Calebark - potentially your experience will relate, perhaps it won't.

And you can

ContextMy first serious relationship ended in April this year. We were together from soon after I turned 16 to soon after I turned 22. It was a very peaceful breakup. There was no 'incident', no animosity, no destructive behaviours. We just sat down to talk about the future and mutually decided it was the right time to no longer be together.
The song my lyrics come from this week is called
Walk You Home... The artist says about the lyrics: "So I wrote you the song that you deserve to let you know / You will always be my first and most wonderful love". So, it's a letter to his ex-girlfriend.
Essentially, the first verse talks about how amazing she is. The second verse is him saying goodbye. It's a fucking amazing song. Unfortunately, I can't encapsulate that in only a small section of lyrics
but the lyrics that I've chosen are:
And it's gone now, you wouldn't even know it was there
But you'd get lost tryna navigate the moments we've shared
Like when we held each other's hands and we said goodbye
Tears streaming out our eyes like somebody had died
Now it's the day after your birthday and it's pouring outside
And I'm catching arrow tips with my fingers down the phone line
The first four lines fuck me up... The last two lines are hectic because "it's the day after your birthday" - for me, the day after my ex-girlfriend's birthday would have been our six year anniversary this year (we broke up after 5 years and 11 months)... just one of those weird things that come up in music sometimes like, day after your birthday??? why did you write that bro?
what is significant about that for you, the artist??? WAS YOUR ANNIVERSARY THE DAY AFTER HER BIRTHDAY AS WELL?
