“irreversibly is the letter I wrote but never sent. I wrote it a while after a breakup, when the wounds are healed over and you just wish the best for the other person, but the bittersweet feeling still lingers. I could not reckon with or even fully comprehend how something so important could suddenly not exist anymore. While working on the track, I had a death in my family and this song took on a new meaning. It’s an unanswerable question: how to deal with goodbyes and endings, even when we know it’s inevitable. It’s something I have to make peace with. But isn’t it devastating?”



Sit by the window
And watch it all pass
It’ll never come back (we’ll never come back)
How silly of me
And How naive
I had thought (I had thought)
It was moving behind me
like a movie scene
(like a movie scene)

But I don’t want it back
Don’t wanna pull the curtain
But isn’t it devastating
That a beautiful thing
An imperfect, flawed-from-the-start thing
Can be gone in an instant
Can die in our hands

I held you
For as long as I could
I tried to
Believe in your ghosts
I held you
When my fingers were bleeding
And I let you I let you I let you I let you
Go

But I don’t want it back
Don’t wanna pull the curtain
But isn’t it devastating
That a beautiful thing
An imperfect, flawed-from-the-start thing
Can be gone in an instant
Can die in our hands

How silly of me
How romantically hopeless
It was all moving away from me
irreversibly (irreversibly)


But I don’t want it back
I don’t wanna pull the curtain
But isn’t it devastating
That a beautiful thing
An imperfect, flawed from-the-start thing
Can be gone in an instant
Can die in our hands
