lyrics
Where was I that night
In December when you realized
That our family wouldn't light eight lights
Did you cry?
But it was never your fault
And I don't blame you
For making this hard
When we both knew
That I wanna talk this through
And what could have I done?
The second child of your only son
But these good intentions, they won't last that long
Was I wrong?
But it was never your fault
And I don't blame you
For making this hard
When we both knew
I get lost inside my mind
I’m feeling helpless all the time
Did it hurt you?
And it was days before you’d gone
You always said time marches on
Without you
I still wanna talk this through
So I hope you stay
In December when you realized
That our family wouldn't light eight lights
Did you cry?
But it was never your fault
And I don't blame you
For making this hard
When we both knew
That I wanna talk this through
And what could have I done?
The second child of your only son
But these good intentions, they won't last that long
Was I wrong?
But it was never your fault
And I don't blame you
For making this hard
When we both knew
I get lost inside my mind
I’m feeling helpless all the time
Did it hurt you?
And it was days before you’d gone
You always said time marches on
Without you
I still wanna talk this through
So I hope you stay

it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption
