Chorus
I’m sorry, I can’t help but try
to deprive you of that sense of a personal hell.
It’s inescapable for me,
a reflection of myself —
I’ve never shown anyone else
I never meant to suffocate
when I can’t help but relate to a feeling that there’s such a thing as too late.
Verse 1
I'm feeling beaten;
I'm feeling caustic with the way
that I was always looking out for you,
and you acted like I wasn’t there.
You heard what I said,
but ignored all the warnings;
and now you have unrest,
I never wanted that.
Pre Chorus
With hindsight, a contrite mind
incessant, and sleep deprived
reminds us, our plans entwined
I tried to be a net for you,
but you wanted to hit the ground.
Chorus
I’m sorry, I can’t help but try
to deprive you of that sense of a personal hell.
It’s inescapable for me,
a reflection of myself —
I’ve never shown anyone else.
I never meant to suffocate
when I can’t help but relate to a feeling that there’s such a thing as too late.
Verse 2
A pyrrhic odyssey,
distancing from the monotony.
In the same condition,
caused by absence of ambition.
Unaware of the consequence,
because you never had the confidence.
Threading neutrally,
to sustain an opportunity.
Pre Chorus
With hindsight, a contrite mind
incessant, and sleep deprived
reminds us, our plans entwined
I tried to be a net for you,
but you wanted to hit the ground.
Chorus
I’m sorry, I can’t help but try
to deprive you of that sense of a personal hell.
It’s inescapable for me,
a reflection of myself —
I’ve never shown anyone else.
I never meant to suffocate
when I can’t help but relate to a feeling that there’s such a thing as too late.
Bridge
Something I'll never quite understand
Is how you refuse a helping hand.
You can never say I wasn't there for you
when you ignored me in the end.
All alone, in your comfort zone;
you took security for granted,
and the friends you claim to love were stepping stones.
I'm sorry…

Verse 1
I comfort myself by convincing myself that there’s certain things I could never unsay,
then I ruminate on those words everyday, and how they could have changed anything.
Incurring in thoughts I should leave alone;
accustomed to evenings spent on my own.
A mind that’s in decay, disowns and preys on its own.
Chorus
I’ve been searching for peace where I can’t find any.
I’ve torn myself to pieces to make you feel whole.
These feelings are irrational,
and hardly any affable to us,
so I’ll stray,
increasingly until I barely have a reason to stay.
Verse 2
I tried to find a word to describe it,
the closest I could find was “sonder”.
I am suddenly more aware of how you feel,
and I think it's time I leave;
my thoughts require some assembly.
Perhaps it’s best that I go off by myself, while you figure out what's best for you and me.
A mind that’s been disowned, decays and prays on its own.
Chorus
I’ve been searching for peace where I can’t find any.
I’ve torn myself to pieces to make you feel whole.
These feelings are irrational,
and hardly any affable to us,
so I’ll stray,
increasingly until I barely have a reason to stay.
Bridge
and I know it's best that we go separate ways,
and I know things haven't been all that great with us.
We're in a state of despondency.
It's still hard to let go from what could have been
when my heart holds you close with an iron grip.
I fell in love, we fell apart.
If you want to get even, just move on.
Chorus
I’ve been searching for peace where I can’t find any.
I’ve torn myself to pieces to make you feel whole.
These feelings are irrational,
and hardly any affable to us,
so I’ll stray,
increasingly until I barely have a reason to stay.
Outro
I feel myself full of doubt,
but I know it's best that we reroute.
It's hard to accept it.
Of all those things I’ve done without,
you’re the one I'll still think about.
If you want to get even, just move on.

Verse 1
I think it's hardest to say goodbye when you're the one who's walking out the door.
It feels like no matter what I do,
I'm going to feel like I should have done more.
I don't want you in my head;
I don't want you in my mind;
I want you next to me.
I hate to make myself go,
but I have to do what's best for me
and that means missing out on what could have been.
Chorus
I don't know what to do but get away from us.
I'm tired of trying so hard.
I can't keep building bridges to get to you
when you're constantly burning them down.
I'm seeing things for how they really are.
Now, I'm thinking just to think — I'm wasting my time.
I know all is lost, but I don't want to forget.
Verse 2
Taking and throwing,
your heart like a stone, in the water,
seeing as it skips a few beats before it sinks to the bottom of the sea.
(It’s oddly cathartic)
Seeing what we had making waves after it ends.
and although it’s bittersweet,
It’s a hard pill to swallow, and now I’m stuck with the aftertaste.
Chorus
I don't know what to do but get away from us.
I'm tired of trying so hard.
I can't keep building bridges to get to you
when you're constantly burning them down.
I'm seeing things for how they really are.
Now, I'm thinking just to think — I'm wasting my time.
I know all is lost, but I don't want to forget.
Bridge
If I could change the past it wouldn't make this any better;
it was bound to end in heartbreak eventually
I don't know what's best for me so how am I supposed to know
what would have been better for you?
I'll still see you everywhere,
in every person that I meet;
I need to grow past this.
You weren't good for me;
I need to find peace;
I need to do what's best for me.
I need to move on.

Verse 1
She said don't be afraid;
fight your nightmares and stay awake
with me tonight 'cause I can't sleep
without you by my side.
I'm sorry I'm on the road;
another week till I come home.
I can picture you within my sight;
another trip I survived.
Chorus
'cause we trashed motel rooms;
got our food from drive thru's;
drove on through a stormy sky.
No, it wasn't easy; and I know you need me.
I can't be home tonight.
Vese 2
Not too fast, just take it slow -
this is the part we've always known.
We'll laugh and close our eyes.
This phone can disguise our lies;
but you don't want to live like this,
'cause my guitar can't pay the rent.
It's we realize these moments can change our lives.
Chorus
'cause we trashed motel rooms;
got our food from drive thru's;
drove on through a stormy sky.
No, it wasn't easy; and I know you need me.
I can't be home tonight.
Bridge
Wait for me,
before you leave.
I can't seem to make this right.
Chorus
'cause we trashed motel rooms;
got our food from drive thru's;
drove on through a stormy sky.
No, it wasn't easy; and I know you need me.
I can't be home tonight.

Verse 1
Another day that's come and gone,
another time to right my wrongs.
The drifting tide will come today;
let's waste our time and float away.
Chorus
Remember when we used to
drive all night in your parents car.
Remember when we used to
sing the words to every song.
I know the times have changed
and the memories can't be taken away.
Until I see you again,
this can be your song.
Verse 2
I'm looking at our picture frame,
the time we left town on a train.
Our lives have gone off of the tracks -
those stupid words we can't take back.
Chorus
Remember when we used to
drive all night in your parents car.
Remember when we used to
sing the words to every song.
I know the times have changed
and the memories can't be taken away.
Until I see you again,
this can be your song.
Bridge
Don't blink to fast;
make the moments last.
I'm sitting in the dark.
You have my beating heart.
I don't know what to say;
the words have gone away.
I don't know what to do;
my brain can never choose.
Chorus
Remember when we used to
drive all night in your parents car.
Remember when we used to
sing the words to every song.
I know the times have changed
and the memories can't be taken away.
Until I see you again,
this can be your song.

Hechael Detroit, Michigan
As you’ve heard plenty of times before, we’re Hechael — pronounced ‘Heckle’. We’re nothing but two friends geographically
scattered, coming together every few months to create art that imitates our lives, or whatever versa. Every ‘what if’ we’ve thrown into our conversations has lead to plans we couldn’t have anticipated — like starting this project as a whole.
