Arriving in Los Angeles is tough. I'm at the airport waiting for Sidney. A few moments later, he arrives and I get in the car. We feel awkward. I text Travis.
Text Conversation:
Travis, I'm in Los Angeles and it's awkward.
It's awkward in Miami. Joint practice with the Dolphins.
Ah. I need to break the tension with Sidney and fast.
I suggest you get your head in the game.
I understand that reference. I miss you.
I miss you too. I have to go.
😘
A few moments later, we arrive at a karaoke bar. I sit and wait for the DJ to introduce me. I see two microphones set up and I look confused. The song starts playing and I sing.
I fell by the wayside like everyone else
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
But I was just kidding myself
Our every moment, I start to replace
'Cause now that they're gone
All I hear were the words that I needed to say
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal but this won't
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
Sidney sings the second verse.
Was never the right time whenever you called
Went little by little by little until there was nothing at all
Our every moment, I start to replay
But all I can think about is seeing that look on your face
When you hurt under the surface
Like troubled water running cold
Well, time can heal but this won't
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
We finish the song.
Would we be better off by now
If I'd have let my walls come down
Maybe I guess we'll never know
You know
You know
Before you go
Was there something I could've said to make your heart beat better?
If only I'd have known you had a storm to weather
So, before you go
Was there something I could've said to make it all stop hurting?
It kills me how your mind could make you feel so worthless
So, before you go
The song ends and we leave.
