Stage of grief: Depression “The sky gets lighter while my thoughts only get darker” {lyrics} Verse 1: 2 am, and I’m still staring at my ceiling Trying not to text you like I used to do Yeah, I cry myself to sleep, but by daylight, I can fake it No can tell that I still come undone for you Cause I’m mourning til morning Verse 2: 3 am, I’m scrolling through our old conversations Trying to find a version of you that still wanted me I swear I’m getting better every morning I wake up But every night, I end up right back where I used to be Cause I’m mourning til morning Chorus: And when the lights are off, I fall apart again All the words I held back finally start to make sense I try to be ok, but I never really am Cause when I’m in the dark, I’m still falling for you again Verse 3: 4 am, I’m wondering if I cross your mind Or if I’m just somebody that you used to care about Yeah, I act like I’m ok, but every night, I unravel Guess some people leave your life, but never leave your heart Yeah, I’m mourning til morning Verse 4: 5 am, and I’m getting good at at pretending Guess you just stopped pretending to want me The sky gets lighter while my thoughts only get darker I know eventually, I won’t miss you like I miss you now But I’m mourning til morning Chorus: And when the lights are off, I fall apart again All the words I held back finally start to make sense I try to be ok, but I never really am Cause when I’m in the dark, I’m still falling for you again Bridge: And I try to call this healing But it never feels better for me I think it’s clear for everyone to see That I still want you next to me And I’m awful at pretending That you’re no longer my dream Cause how am I supposed to let you go When you still mean everything to me? Chorus: So when the lights are off, I fall apart again All the words I held back always made sense I try to be ok, but I never really am Cause I’m still falling for you again
Me for the guitar, lyrics, and vocals {info} Run time - 4:17 Key - G major BPM - 110 {note} I wrote “Mourning Til Morning”, the 8th track of “grief”, after countless nights of lying awake, unable to sleep after the breakup. I felt like everyone expected me to be over it long before I actually was, so I spent a lot of time pretending I was ok when I wasn’t. This song is about those quiet hours when everyone else is asleep, and you finally break down after holding everything in while you’re around people. I hope you enjoy “Mourning Til Morning”! <333
