about
How did that happen? You've failed for a friend and you've got no clue how to tell them. So instead of being a grown-up and admitting your feelings you let the emotion fester inside.
From the debut album by Gentle, Ghosts, 'How I'll Break Your Heart'.
Channelling Teenage Fanclub, Waxahatchee, Wilco and Taylor Swift, the album describes the many ways we muck love up, carelessly or callously, during the bloom and bust of a relationship. Dusk-drenched melodies and bittersweet lyrics combine with occasionally country-tinged power-pop for an album perfectly suited for the golden hours of summer.
lyrics
You’ll never find out
I’ve hated everyone you’ve dated
You’ll never find out
I bury them all in my sleep
You’ll never find out
That I build cities for our children
You’ll never find out
I have vertigo on repeat
Cause I go on and on and on and on
desperately, staying silent
Terrified that you may find out
You'll never find out,
I give up everything to see you
You'll never find out,
I’m losing friends to this lost cause
You’ll never find out
I dream of John Hughes declarations
You’ll never find out
But 16 Candles makes me pause
Cause I go on and on and on and on
desperately, staying silent
Terrified that you may find out
But I can’t, I can’t let go of
I can’t let go of how I am feeling
And I can’t, I can't let go of you
Oh so what do I do?
What if I tell you?
Will that make this all end?
Could we carry on as before?
Yet I go on and on and on and on
desperately, staying silent
Terrified that you may find out
Oh, I can’t, I can’t let go of
I can’t let go of how I am feeling
But I can, I can let go of you
I conjured a feeling
Wished it to being
Imagined a life
Only to find
We only exist in other love songs
So shatter illusions
Scatter the fragments
Shake me awake
Stop wasting my time
We only exist in other love songs
