A song I wrote about how I felt soon after my partner broke up with me.
Content warning: suicidal ideation.
Don’t worry Internet, this is only how I felt at a certain point in time, though I am not over her, I am doing well and wouldn’t take her back.
I wrote the song while on the 26th floor of my apartment. Elevation does give some perspective.

and just do

Instead of getting

Bm
Won’t you come back and

be with

me?
Verse 3
From
G/D
high up, I
