lyrics
Here's to all the people who have helped me through this year
I never could have thanked you all for that
You put up with my flaws and all my pessimistic thoughts
And this is my attempt to say thank you
I don't think I'm quite as sad as I was before
I've only got myself to blame for that
I couldn't see where I was or what I was working towards
But I've come to accept that side of life
I walked alone
For as far as I could let myself go
Now I fall dethroned
I crack a smile, but the joy is not my own
Here's to all the people that I always just ignored
I'm sorry that I couldn't say hello
Though you came in constant crowds, as I worried about myself
I couldn't see that you were all alone
I think about Jesus and the things they say He did
I think I'd like to live some more like that
But I'm consumed with growing doubt, a need for hope, and getting out
My love could never go as deep as that
I walked alone
For as far as I could let myself go
Now I fall dethroned
I crack a smile, but the joy is not my own
I'm getting better slowly
But I am still losing my mind
And I can't get rid of the old me
In spite of everything I've tired
But I never bothered you
I never asked for you
Here's to everybody that is worried about me
I'm doing fine, as far as I can tell
I still want to die before I turn 25
But I guess we'll have to see if time prevails
'Cause thirty years sounds bold
But God, it seems so old
I guess we'll have to see where my road goes
it's such a beautiful album of grieving and loss and acceptance. it speaks to a particular kind of grief -- not a grieving of one who is lost, but the grieving for one who is still present and still causing pain. i love the last song most because while it could end in pain, or end with the narrators decision to permanently push this person out of their life and that would be justified, it doesn't. instead, it offers something. what is offered? acceptance. hope. and a chance for redemption janmisha
The Oh Hellos have come to hold a very special place in my heart, not just in this album, but in others as well. Hello My Old Heart was one of the first songs I ever heard by them, and it's been a treasured journey listening to them ever since. ladyoforion
