I Forgot About Songs by Hello Saferide Lyrics

To hear a song like that!
To have it spoon your sad little heart
It didn't give me a better outlook on life
But it told me:
"I've been there too, and I turned it to art"
And that made all the difference to me
That made all the difference to me

And I forgot about songs
I forgot about what they are to me
I forgot how they hold me
How they soothe me and carry me

I forgot about violins
I forgot how they see me
Try me and taunt me
And how they finally breathe me

I forgot about chord changes
Where the bass tone stays intact
I forgot about drums and
Voices with a tendency to crack
When they make all the difference to me
They make all the difference to me
There was this September
When all broke loose
Turned out all my truths had worn thin
I dangled by a thread from within

But I heard a violin

"I'll hold you, my child"
The song said, and it did
It stroke my forehead with pale hands and
Slowly carried me to the bridge
And as the chorus arrived

I let go
Oh -

And you're so young
And you're so young
And you come up to me

And you tell me it helped you through
Something bad once happened
You say and you hang your head
But this song
It helped you through!
I get home and I kick my books
Fuck you, Knowledge
I was never on your team
I was never one of your fighters

I was born a romantic for a reason
Not to be loved

To be a songwriter
