Name: The Unicorn
Duration: P00H04M43S
Description: This track’s back and forth heartbreak, wailing pedal steel, and harmonies for days will leave you crying. Like when I left you in the barn, but the very next day everything was different. Hair, shoes, multicolored mane, a long pearly horn. But I’m still just a normal horse.

about

This track’s back and forth heartbreak, wailing pedal steel, and harmonies for days will leave you crying. Like when I left you in the barn, but the very next day everything was different. Hair, shoes, multicolored mane, a long pearly horn. But I’m still just a normal horse.

lyrics

My bags are packed in my mind
I wrote you my last goodbye
And I’m so close

You said that we were meant to be
Both of us too blind to see
Promises not meant for keeping

I drift in this lonely space
close my eyes and see your face
there’s no love without bleeding

I know you will miss my face
Where you slept, an empty space
the darkness is deceiving

All good love, it has to end
I can’t say that we’ll be friends
It will be like you were never here

My bags are packed in my mind
I wrote you my last goodbye
And I’m so close

I’m a shadow of the girl you knew
I brought out the best in you
And you returned the favor

My bags are packed in my mind
I wrote you my last goodbye
And I’m so close to leaving

You said I was a unicorn
But I am just a normal horse
You’re so good …..

I’m a shadow of the girl you knew
I brought out the best in you
And you returned
