[00:03.924]	The whole point of me recording right now,
[00:08.966]	is to hold myself accountable
[00:10.825]	for the feelings I still feel
[00:14.813]	I thought it was over, thought I was moving forward
[00:19.862]	But I guess that’s why I have this
[00:21.984]	to show me what’s real
[00:25.970]	The perils of keeping your ex-wife’s phone in your possession
[00:31.557]	You’re only really saying you’ve put the past to rest
[00:36.868]	It is all too easy to feed your old obsession
[00:42.182]	You want to prove you’ve moved on?
[00:43.778]	Let’s put it to the test
[00:45.897]	So I turned on my speakers,
[00:49.357]	plugged 'em into the jack
[00:53.082]	But I wasn’t prepared
[00:56.264]	for how it’d feel to listen back
[00:59.451]	It was a painful little listen back
[01:03.436]	I had a little listen back
[01:06.647]	My first and last listen back
[01:11.160]	And I heard you cry
[01:15.146]	And I heard three minutes of unfiltered honesty
[01:20.461]	I realized I still love you
[01:36.178]	Tonight I heard three distant voices
[01:41.699]	A trio of myself saying goodbye
[01:47.323]	I turned over in bed, torn apart by past choices
[01:52.888]	Time to check the record, the record wouldn’t lie
[01:56.112]	So I slipped out of bed,
[01:59.834]	made myself a small snack
[02:03.571]	And I put on my headphones,
[02:06.490]	and had another listen back
[02:09.667]	It was a painful little listen back
[02:13.926]	I had a little listen back
[02:17.105]	That was my last listen back
[02:21.893]	And I heard us fight
[02:25.619]	But I was a coward, and I ran away again
[02:30.716]	That wasn’t right
[02:33.099]	And I can’t afford to be a coward anymore
[02:50.429]	Another part of adulting is admitting when you’re wrong
[02:55.749]	And doing the hard thing you need to do for yourself
[03:01.066]	For eight years I tried to tell myself “stay strong”
[03:06.117]	As the guilt of what I’d done destroyed my mental health
[03:12.229]	We all know what I’m holding
[03:14.606]	And what I just completed
[03:17.812]	Though hearing my own voice has never felt this strange
[03:23.109]	You were right to leave the record, you were right to
[03:25.495]	give me distance
[03:28.986]	Something deep inside of me is ready now to change
[03:32.181]	This time when i listened
[03:35.645]	I only made it through half
[03:39.382]	Because with 16 answers of mine missing
[03:42.306]	I can’t just listen back
[03:46.547]	It’s not enough to listen back
[03:49.736]	I can’t just listen back
[03:54.516]	I have to do more than listen back
[04:01.224]	It’s not enough to listen back
[04:04.970]	I can’t just listen back
[04:09.220]	I have to do more than listen back
