From the recording Bloom Without Me
Breakups aren't always acrimonious. Sometimes, they're full of love, care, and hope.
Love that is both giving you strength to do the right thing, and breaking you at the same time.
Care for your future selves and what would truly make them happy.
Hope that you both will find love again, the kind that you couldn't create with each other.
If you've ever gone through a breakup like this, first off - good for you for recognizing that, and not settling for a relationship that ultimately would not have brought you the kind of happiness you desired and deserved. Being honest with ourselves about what we want in a relationship, and what happiness looks like is the first step to building a fulfilling life. This song is for you.
If you're going through such a breakup, or contemplating one, I hope this song will help you through your healing journey.
Thanks to my friend John Navarrette who produced the track. Our collaborations are always so easy.
Lyrics
Like summer flowers wither in the fall
Shedding seeds for another season
I know, this is where we have to fall apart
So we can be whole again
Turns out when we grow into ourselves
Sometimes we grow apart
Wish I knew how to fix it, how to tell
But it's a little late for that now
I don't know how to be without you
But we'll bloom again
Someday, someplace
Where all our mistakes
Have made us wiser
We'll bloom
So bloom without me
Never thought I'd be the one causing you pain
Loved you more than I knew I could
You know it kills me to let you go
But it'd kill me more to hold you back
I'll never be the same without you
But we'll bloom again
Someday, some place
Where all our mistakes
Have made us wiser
We'll bloom
We'll bloom
So bloom
Bloom without me
We'll bloom again
Some day, some place
Where all our mistakes
Have made us wiser
We'll bloom
We'll bloom
So bloom
Bloom without me
