Melancholic but Not Sad Lyrics

Melancholic, but not sad

I gazed into the night sky walking back home to my apartment flat

My earphones still in my pockets I was alone with my thoughts

There was this smell in the air that made me think of home

Not a place that I liked, nor a place I remember

When I looked up for a sign - I saw the stars above

It's the little things that get me, little details in this world

All grounded in today while I still live in the past

Although I've bent to the weight, and I can't stand to face the truth

Melancholic but not sad, I see the stars above

It feels like years since I've been there, in a place I thought was safe

Kinda funny how I lost what I had clung to the most

In a fire of abandon, all my bridges burned to ash

On a cliff there was a crumbling road, but no way home

If I turn back I will fall, if I stay here I will die

No incentive to live, yet I trudge on my way

Without an end to this path, all I want is to go home

There's no exit in sight, and yet I cling onto hope

It's the little things that get me, little details in this world

All grounded in today while I still live in the past

Although I've bent to the weight, and I can't stand to face the truth

Melancholic but not sad, I see the stars above

Melancholic, but not sad

I gazed into the night sky walking back home to my apartment flat

My earphones still in my pockets I was alone with my thoughts

There was this smell in the air that made me think of home

Melancholic but not sad - feels like its been forever

I've always walked towards a sanctuary I've never known

Melancholic but not sad - either give up or go

The day I stop moving forward, is the day that I die

Melancholic but not sad - I keep on looking up

It's the details that will get to me, until the very end

I am bleeding and I'm bent, but somehow I am not broken

Melancholic but not sad - I see the stars above!

It's the little things that get me, little details in this world

All grounded in today while I keep moving forward

Though I don't know what's in store, though I know I may give up

There is some peace in the idea that I did what I could

I will fight until the end, it's the way I want to go

Melancholic but not sad, I keep on walking on

Melancholic but not sad, I keep on looking up

Melancholic but not sad - I see the stars above!
