lyrics

Can’t help but feel like I should wait for you
It wouldn’t be the smartest thing I do
Your energy is undeniable
This kind of thinking isn’t feasible
The way it goes both ways

Makes it harder to breathe
When you’re the only one I see
So why can’t it be me
Makes it harder to swallow
When I know you wanna be friends
Cuz I know I’m the one who can take it- take ya to the end

Doing your best to be the perfect you
Before you go and be with someone new
After all this time I was so patient
So how could you just walk away from it
The way it goes both ways

Makes it harder to breathe
When you’re the only one I see
So why can’t it be me
Makes it harder to swallow
When I know you wanna be friends
Cuz I know I’m the one who can take it- take ya to the end

You say I’m dramatic, but it only comes out with you
I’m way too emphatic, so I’ll definitely see you through
Pursuit of happiness, it’s what you’re workin for, it’s what you’re lookin for
Guess what, so am I, so why don’t you just go for it

Makes it harder to breathe
When you’re the only one I see
So why can’t it be me
Makes it harder to swallow
When I know you wanna be friends
Cuz I know I’m the one who can take it- take ya to the end

about

In the Mourning Los Angeles, California

“In the Mourning” is Amanda Tran’s youngest brainchild that marries her introspective emo girl lyricism with the nostalgic sensibilities of early Avril Lavigne and Demi Lovato, and a sprinkle of Paramore’s spice on top. In the Mourning brings a fresh perspective to your most cathartic feels. ... more
