Dark Thought

Album: Who We Used To Be (2023)

  • I drove up the hill just to say goodbye
    But all I found was a "For Sale" sign
    Put my hand on the gate and there's tears in my eyes
    And all that's been left since the minute you died
    Are the chandeliers in the trees, ceramic bees
    Now they're just covered in leaves
    My hands are shaking as I type in the code
    The gate doesn't open, just a voice that says, "No"
    But I know inside there's a piece of your soul
    That they're painting over and everything else will be sold
    And the piano that played on its own is not playing no more

    I wish that you had called somebody (oh)
    And if I wasn't there, I'm sorry (oh)
    You made me believe you were strong
    I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong
    So goodbye to my best friend ever (oh)
    I can't believe you're gone forever (oh)
    I came up to find you today
    'Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say
    But a dark thought got there first

    They buried your ashes in a Prozac pill
    And all the vultures came to chew on your will
    I hate that you're gone and the questions you leave
    And it's sad that your daughter's not talking to me
    Well, I can't draw a heart, so I drew you a star on the Hollywood Boulevard

    I wish that you had called somebody (oh)
    And if I wasn't there, I'm sorry (oh)
    You made me believe you were strong
    I wish you had called me and told me that something was wrong
    So goodbye to my best friend ever (oh)
    I can't believe you're gone forever (oh)
    I came up to find you today
    'Cause I finally found all the words that I needed to say
    But a dark thought got there first
    Dark thought did its worst
    And that's what really hurts
    A dark thought got there first

    I drove up the hill just to say goodbye
    But all I found was a "For Sale" sign
    Put my hand on the gate and there's tears in my eyes
    And all that's been left since the minute you died
    Are the chandeliers in the trees, ceramic bees
    But now they're just covered in leaves Writer/s: George Henry Tizzard, James Blount, Rick Parkhouse
