[Lyric] July (Cecil Opia)

[Verse 1]
"Can we still be friends?" I asked with such levity
The question echoed and echoed till the words lost their clarity
"Friends" now stuck in our throats like rocks
We lost our fight to gravity

[Chorus]
Breathe in and taste the petrichor
How can I feel so heavy even when you're not weighing me down?
Arms were not raised, yet it felt like war
Damage not delt, yet it stung more than I was able to ignore

[Verse 2]
I know you were just trying to lighten the load
Lighten the load
Couldn't see where would trail off, our winding road
So you split it down the middle and met me at the crossroads

[Pre-Chorus]
I know, I know
I know, it's hard
I know, I know
I know
I know, I know
I know, it's hard
I know, I know
I know
[Chorus]
Breathe in and taste the petrichor
How can I feel so heavy even when you're not weighing me down?
Arms were not raised, yet it felt like war
Damage not delt, yet it stung more than I was able to ignore

[Bridge]
"Can we still be friends?" (I know, I know)
I asked with such levity (I know, it's hard)
The question echoed and echoed till the words (I know, I know)
Lost their clarity (I know)
"Friends" now (I know, I know)
Stuck in our throats like rocks (I know, it's hard)
We lost our fight to (I know, I know)
Gravity (I know)

[Chorus]
Breathe in and taste the petrichor
How can I feel so heavy even when you're not weighing me down?
Arms were not raised, yet it felt like war
Damage not delt, yet it stung more than I was able to ignore
