From the recording Make it So
A breakup song told through the lens of the stages of grief. Based on the tales of two friends, who don’t know each other, whose breakups with their partners were eerily similar and happened around the same time.

Lyrics
Just can’t make it so
Watch me as I go
Really wanna know
What’s inside your head
Turn and walk away
Now the air is gray
Nothing left okay
But an empty
Bed you made
With a jagged blade
I can’t even get my head around the shade
Far away
From decisions made
How could I expect
You’d take
The wrong way
U-haul at the door
30 minutes more
Lying like before
‘Cause it’s all about you
How’d you fake it all
Answered every call
Now I’ll take the fall
Into an empty
Bed you made
With a jagged blade
I can’t even get my head around the shade
Far away
From decisions made
How could I expect
You’d take
The wrong way
Endless movies
In my head
All night long
I know how it ends
But I’ll pretend
That you’re
Singing my birthday song
Endless movies
In my head
Singing joy to the world
Now we’re at the end
I can’t pretend
Gonna have to say I know
Gonna have to let it go
Gonna have to make it so
