I Know It Happened But I Can't Explain

from I Know It Happened But I Can't Explain by Zoe Konez

lyrics

Screwed up t-shirt, at the foot of the bed on the floor
Messy left bed clothes, like I had to be somewhere
Somewhere that's not here, I don't care to stay here
Here is where we were, now we won't be anymore

And the train came, and took you away
Maybe it was a car came and took you away
Or the rain came or maybe the season just changed
Either way,
I know it happened but I can explain

Piles of receipts, and gifts, and things that we both shared
I can't face thinking about it, come and get them when you can bear
Everywhere that you look here, there's another happy time of us here
Happy like, ‘how it ever not be?’ but here we are, not there

And the train came, and took you away
Maybe it was a car came and took you away
Or the rain came or maybe the season just changed
Either way,
I know it happened but I can explain

I'll tell you a secret
I like being good at things
And I can't decide if I feel so defeated
Because I wasn't very good at this
Or if I really really liked you
And I won't see you again

I know it happened but I can't explain


Press rewind for me would you
I want to listen again
Feel the goosebumps on my back and my neck
And my arms and legs

I know it happened but I can't explain
I know it happened but I can't explain
