Windy City Joseph Lyrics

The existential dread, I thought I could suspend, I didn't think it'd happen to us

But when the sky turned red, you left before the end, let the rain turn me to rust

Called me your muse like we'd never part

But any fool could've seen better just what you were

A windy city burden on my heart

I'd like to lodge a complaint

I met a boy, said he was carried by Zephyr

And I was fooled by the paint

He wrote a song that made me lighter than feathers

Sang it together like a cheesy duet

I should've known it when his singing was flat

That when I tried to get the wind to commit

He'd leave me like that

The existential dread, I thought I could suspend, I didn't think it'd happen to us

But when the sky turned red, he left before the end, and let the rain turn me to rust

Windy city Joseph, I offered him my heart, he said he'd give it a miss

Makes a pretty love myth

I thought I found my Cupid, but I only found a wordsmith

Windy city Joseph

We took a trip in July

He wrote me poems on a Chicago train

I thought my man was too shy

He wouldn't take our kind of love and give it a name

I gave him time and I gave him my trust

Who could break your heart who writes you lyrics like that

Too ashamed to tell my friends Chicago's a bust

He left me like that

Windy city Joseph, I offered him my heart, he said he'd give it a miss

Makes a pretty love myth

I thought I found my Cupid, but I only found a wordsmith

Windy city Joseph

All my friends were telling me he's leading you on

Blame me 'cause I'd hoped he'd stay for one more song

Cut my heart open, let him write it as I bled

Crying on my birthday when he sang me the blues

Chorus in my memory, a lyrical bruise

Joseph may have ditched me, but his tunes never leave my head

No one's in my head like Windy city Joseph

I offered him my heart, he said he'd give it a miss

Makes a pretty love myth

I thought I found my Cupid, but I only found, I only found

Windy city Joseph

I offered him my heart, he said he'd give it a miss

Makes a pretty love myth

I thought I found my Cupid, but I only found a wordsmith
