MAYCOMB LYRICS

"The Anticipation"

You only made this harder for me
Don’t say you’re sorry
I’m gonna see this out
And forget about how forgetting is not working
You’re not worth it
I’m determined not to give in
I will not let this win
Or have doctors drug me up till I don’t feel a thing

You taught me all about how nothing is as it seems
I learnt a lesson about hearts on sleeves
And how if you can feel it’s too good to be true, it’s better to leave before you’re proved right
I feel it…

And now I know that it’s over, I’ve got this feeling:
It’s better than anything you gave
And I can see what you once saw in me
And I will start again

Don’t say you’re sorry
You left me set to begin
You thought I’d fallen to pieces
But I thickened my skin with the stone you set me in
And I won’t deny, at the side of you that night I thought I’d broken through
But all you provided was silence and this bitter taste
I know attention is all you need, and now it’s fleeting, you’ll spin the story until I seem defeated
Well let them believe it

If you convince yourself that none of this matters
There’s nothing left here for you to lose

And now I know that it’s over, I’ve got this feeling:
It’s better than anything you gave
And I can see what you once saw in me
And I will start again and accept it’s the end
Now it seems that the end is all that matters
If loss is forever, at least the slate’s clean

You only made this harder for me
Don’t say you’re sorry
I’m gonna see this out
And forget about how forgetting is not working
You’re not worth it
I’m determined I will be gone by the time that it dawns on you how much you stand to lose
Because you convinced yourself that none of this matters
And not a word of it’s true

And now I know that it’s over, I’ve got this feeling:
It’s better than anything you gave
And now it’s through, I just wish I knew what I thought I saw in you
