About Esmé - Old Blood Lyrics

This old blood spills so slowly
And I'm looking for a way to rush it out
For now I'll sleep pretending
There's something here you still care about

400 miles away never felt that far
Before you left on that plane
And for the first time in a long time
I had a feeling that you'd never come back

And you told me
And I knew I'd never see you again
And it's fine by me but please just do one thing
Before you leave
You may forget who I am
Or wonder why I'm still trying
But I'm just trying to tell you
That even though you're gone
You never really went missing

This old blood spills so slowly
And I'm opening my veins to let it out
But for now I'll sleep pretending
There's something here you don't care about
