Trevor has written his share of breakup and unrequited love songs before but this song is different. It's about a relationship that's broken down but not through anger, affair or hate but through lack of communication and not giving the relationship the time it deserves.
lyrics
Lyrics:
I’m going to put this story to bed before the heartache fractures my head. There’s no need to explain for I can see the pain in your eyes.
It’s washing over us both like a wave, there’s nothing here we can save, except maybe the thought that there’s something we ought to have done.
Don’t despair my love, it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright
Don’t despair my love, I’m doing fine, I’m doing fine, I’m doing fine
And now I rummage through all the nightmares I sent to you, searching for a shred of truth and a piece of your heart.
And I can see it clear in my reflection in your tears, I should have faced my fears, for now fear is all I know.
Don’t despair my love, it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright
Don’t despair my love, I’m doing fine, I’m doing fine, I’m doing fine
Take me away from it all
There’s no peace of mind, no piece to find any more
Take me away from it all
There’s no peace of mind, no piece to find any more
Don’t despair my love, it’ll be alright, it’ll be alright
Don’t despair my love, I’m doing fine, I’m doing fine, I’m doing fine
