Story Behind The Song

My first major love broke my heart and although it almost stopped, she didn't skip a beat. I couldn't be the exact person she wanted me to be. When I finally had enough and rejected that image, she got rid of me like I was nothing to her the whole time.

Song Description

Breaking up with someone who really doesn't give two sh*ts about you...only the image they have of the perfect person for them. You soon discover how little you meant to them as they move on almost instantly without any remorse or downtime. They want the idea of the perfect love more than they want real love.

Lyrics

Cast Away


Make a ring. Then, break a ring.
Take what we had. Take everything.
'Cause when we lived you know I was dead,
But now all that shit's cleared from my head.

Maybe you'll find that one special guy who lives up to your mind.
Maybe you'll cry, but I won't be there this time.

And I wanna say I've been cast away like some used up broken ashtray.
And I wanna write what you said that night:
How I'm at a different stage in life.

Stage in life.

Maybe I'm blind. The thought crossed my mind, then I woke up in time.
Maybe you're right, but you just can't win this fight.

And I wanna say how easily it was for you to get rid of me.
And I wanna fly. Yes I so wanna try,
But I don't know how to live your lie.

Live your lie.

Maybe you'll find that one special guy who lives in your mind.
Maybe you'll realize that I won't be there when you whine.

And I wanna say I've been cast away like some used up broken ashtray.
And I wanna fly. Yes I so wanna try,
But I don't know how to live your lie.
Yes, I wanna say I've been cast away like some used up broken ashtray.
And I wanna write what you said that night:
How I'm at a different stage in life.
