A song about watching the person you used to be with struggle in the midst of a breakup. Letting go of their pain and moving on.
lyrics
I saw the sadness in your eyes
And it made me want to comfort you
As if I was your demise
I’ve got to move on move through
If only it were simple
But I’ve got complex feelings that get to me sometimes
Taking on the burdens that person shouldn’t take
Opened up my heart too far
I’ve got to lift the bell jar
I heard the wreckage in your voice
And it made me want to cry for you
As if I didn’t have a choice
But it’s me that I’ve got to choose
If only it were simple
But I’ve got complex feelings that get to me sometimes
Taking on the burdens that person shouldn’t take
Opened up my heart too far
I’ve got to lift the bell jar
I smell the roses every day
I count my gratitudes every night
Shame guilt blame negativity
I don’t want to hold on to what’s not mine
And even though it isn’t simple
It’s the only way to let go and live
Until you hit the center of the richness in yourself
Releases from the self-made hell
I’m lifting the bell jar
