A song that makes me feel guilty
Start a War by The National. From the album Boxer.
Walk away now and you’re gonna start a war.
I walked away once, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. You want desperately to have things go back to the way they were, but you have to do it for both of you. But how can you hurt someone that badly and walk away unscathed.
Memories of the past, visions of the future – they flash through your mind so fast that you’ve lived the relationship through a thousand times over by the time it ends. Doubt, guilt and anguish grab at you but you have to keep moving forward. The crater fades behind the horizon, but the earth is round so you come back to it every now and again until time consumes it. Hopefully fertile ground is left in its wake and when that happens you realise you’re not an unfeeling bastard after all.
