Your Way – Ilana Charnelle

From the album A Minute of Your Time (2020).

I needed you for the longest time

For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why

Every match I was on your side

But I lost the will to fight

People don’t change, I know you, I know your way

It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

I’m hoisting the flag, I admit defeat

Fought through good and bad but I don’t think I can make you happy 

Nothing wrong with that, it’s bittersweet

I held it all in till I started falling but now I think that I’ve found my feet

I needed you for the longest time

For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why

Every match I was on your side

But I lost the will to fight

People don’t change, I know you, I know your way

It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

You keep spilling words, they’re falling at my feet

Rising under my chin until I feel that I can’t breathe

Yes you’re always right, yes you know best

I held it all in but that shit gets boring and now I think I need a rest

I needed you for the longest time

For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why

Every match I was on your side

But I lost the will to fight

People don’t change, I know you, I know your way

It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

I needed you for the longest time

But it doesn’t sting to say goodbye

Always there, always on your side

But you never made it on to mine

People don’t change, I know you, I know your way

It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

So take a bow, I’ll get out of your way

I’m so done now, it’s no fun now to stay
