Plaintive - Dusk (Official Audio)

Dusk is track 1 from my album Coping Mechanism, available now on all streaming services. The album centers around my first significant breakup, and the processes I personally went through to come to a point of acceptance and understanding.

Lyrics:

So, we're at the start
A gorgeous day in August
A perfect time to hang out at the park
I held your heart
And though it's true I'm novice
Our two years have proved that I can fit the part

I know we had that disagreement
But we communicated, and we beat it
I'd thought that conversation had seceded
Until you sat me down and bells began ringing

And you say I'm such a wonderful guy
And anyone'd be lucky to be in my life
But there's things that are not working anymore
At least not like they did before
Only recently these feelings had come up
And you think it's best if we break up

What if we tried a break? (No)
What if we tried a couple days? (No)
What if I fixed all my mistakes (No)
What if we tried a couple days? (No)
So is this the end? (Yeah)
After all this time we spent? (Yeah)
And all this love we meant? (Yeah)
Well I guess we'll still be friends

Wait

Everything we put on queue
So much to look forward to
Things we will never pursue
Our future torn out of the blue
Is this what you want to do?
Nothing to me felt askew
No matter what I'll love you
But baby please, please think this through

But why'd you let us die? (Why'd you let us die?)
Why'd you let us die? (Why'd you let us die?)
Why won't you just try? (Why won't you just try?)
Why won't you just try? (Try, try)

And as the sun sets o'er the golden woodchips
We share our final embrace despite our coming fate
But I was naïve to actually believe
That you would still be you
And I would still be me
