Milo Duhn - Part 2: The Reason I'm Grateful Lyrics

I'm gonna flash forwards
Just a few months later
I've settled into this new college town
And finally figured it out
Now we're still on good terms
But we don't talk much anymore
And it doesn't hurt as much now that i lost my best friend
And that reality hurts worse than death
Now your hair's gotten blonder
Than it was in the summer
When did you change it up
Was it enough to give you the guts
To dye your mind a brand new color
I bet it's his favorite
A new kind of pigment I wouldn't understand

But that's alright
It doesn't matter anyway
Because we all evolve as people
It's okay you evolved away from me
Because I won't pretend that I never had to drift away
I just wish that our fondest memories
Didn't get mixed in with all the bullshit
I had to forget

Now where is the honesty I'm searching for
Because I don't know if i'm lying to myself
When I say that I am fine
Am I over all those nights I spent lost inside my head
Or am I still as lost as I ever was
All I know is that every single time I had to hear his name
I just wanted to go and burst out into flames
And let my ashes scatter away
Before I do something stupid and ruin everything
Well now I can bear the sight of his face
As he looks in your eyes the same way I did
And I can tell you're happy
God you look so happy

That summer left me shaking with way too much withdrawel
The liquor shots that I've been taking
Never competed with your phone calls
And I haven't had a drink in weeks because I feel
That being sober helps me appreciate
That god you look so happy

And I hope you get accepted into Brown
And get the fuck out of this town
Your heart of gold deserves everything, you know
And someday you're gonna get that new york city skyline
Stretched across your window
Well I hope it feels like home

And I want you to know that I'm so proud
I hope he sticks around
And supports you like you're the only thing that counts
