If only I could play it cool
And brush you off, pass you by
Quell the echoes ringing from my hollowness
Deep inside
Why do I waste myself away
Let every kiss, turn to cries
Elementary humiliation
Every, time I
Try my, best to say
Goodbye, to heartache
Telling myself I’m okay with dancing alone
Mirror pep talks leave me laughing
From the way, I seem to choke
On my false assurance of myself
‘Cause to, you I’m a joke
The reluctance in your eyes
Holds everything to break me so
Always first to shatter and
The last to let go
Try my, best to say
Goodbye, to heartache
Telling myself I’m okay with dancing alone
Left lying awake
Counting, my mistakes
Foolish for thinking you could ever love
Impossible that you could feel any different
So why did you let me stay?
Is it something more that's leaving you breathless
Or just the thrill of the game?
Try my, best to say
Goodbye, to heartache
Telling myself I’m okay with dancing alone
Left lying awake
Counting, my mistakes
Foolish for thinking you could ever love

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
