lyrics

I don’t blame you for leaving
Though I still don’t think it was only me
But I’ll face the sun let it dry my tears
And grow into a beautiful tree
I know that I am grieving
And it’s painful that you’ll never see
That I’m finally free from the wretched rock
And’ll grow into a beautiful tree

For what it’s worth it made me sad to hear about your dad
Even though I know you didn’t want to tell me
The symbol’s gone, but you’ll live on,
This time without us pounding on the wilting steel behind your face
That’s disguised as the softest silken blanket

And now you’re free.
But I will love you, my buzzing Bee,
Even as you fly away from me.

I don’t blame you for leaving
Though I still don’t think it was only me
But I’ll face the sun let it dry my tears
And grow into a beautiful tree
I know that I am grieving
And it’s painful that you’ll never see
That I’m finally free from the wretched rock
And’ll grow into a beautiful tree

My darling look me in the eye and trust that I am kind
Even though I know it’s too late for rebuilding
‘Cause you were wrong, I’m not your mom
She never understood the vibrant colors in your gentle heart
No wonder you expect denial and bile

And though you’re smart
You stung me with all those sharp remarks
As dawn began to ripple through the dark

Of course I know it’s right
For you to say goodbye
But you’ll always be a part of me
It’s the reason I’ll be fine

I don’t blame you for leaving
Though I still don’t think it was only me
But I’ll face the sun let it dry my tears
And grow into a beautiful tree
I know that I am grieving
And it’s painful that you’ll never see
That I’m finally free from the wretched rock
And’ll grow into a beautiful tree

about

Goldfeather New York

Goldfeather is an experimental pop band based out of New York City. The whimsical brainchild of Sarah Goldfeather and Mike Tierney, Goldfeather’s music has been described as “a nightmare funhouse-mirror take on Carly Rae Jepson-style upbeat pop [that is] deeply disconcerting and outrageously fun” (National Sawdust Log) and “giddy, cute, vulnerable, and delightful” (I Care If You Listen). ... more
