Part Of The Process

from BROKEN HEARTBEATS by Zelda

/

lyrics

You threw my letters away
And then you called me names
I never thought I’d see that look in your eyes
When rage meets sadness
And tears apart
The love you could have had

But everybody’s
Explaining to me
A simple thing
Easy as a pie
And I admit that I don’t want to hear it
And that’s :
« It’s part of the process »

You gave me back my gifts
I gave you back your friends
You stopped calling me names
You stopped calling at all
And all that remains now
Is the tone of your phone

And every folk trying to cheer me up
Have only one thing written on their lips
I know it’s true
And I know we are done
But I do not want to say it out loud
It’s part of the process

Dreaming of you all night
Can’t figure out why we split
Turning around
In my head
Repassing every detail
But everything is blurred
So why did it end ?
After all

My good friends told me
I am gonna cry
And I am gonna be angry as fuck
And cry again and the be exhausted
It’s part of the process

I tried to delete all the photos
I tried not to listen to the songs
Made a box with all your things
Offered it to the street
Came home and had a cigarette
But i feel guilty and weak
It’s part of the process

A few weeks later we bump
into each other by chance
You’re no longer angry
You smile at me clumsily
Ask me if I want a tea
We have wild sex at your place and it feels like a mistake
Sweet mistake

And you seem doubtful but I know you’re not
You ceased to love me on this kitchen floor
And it was only 15 days ago
Now the only words rolling in my head
Are just
It’s part of the process

Today a year’s gone by
It has been days of sadness
And days of joy
My self-trust blooms
Feel like a new person finally

This fucking shit I had to go through
It was only steps to take me to now
And all of the love, and all of the hate
It was just
Parts of the process.
