electric forest

I put you in a box Included everything laying around That made me think of you And sealed it with a rubber band I threw it in a lake Watched as you flew through the dark sky that night Until you made a splash And then I said my last goodbyes I turned away, no looking back I walked away, my head held high That was the easiest But what was yet to come the hardest part Wanting you back with me Although you're just no good for me I dream at night at last You aren't keeping me up, driving me nuts I did the right thing I think I'm just now getting over you I turned away, no looking back I walked away, my head held high You've gone away, stay there You shouldn't have been here ever at all I turned away, no looking back I walked away, my head held high
