They told me I could let it all go
But somehow, I still feel the echo
No strings left holding me back
Yet the emptiness pulls me off track
I thought I’d walk away so clean
No traces of what might have been
I say I’ve left it all behind
But deep down, there’s irony in my mind
No attachments, just irony
In every turn, in everything I see
What I wanted never came to light
But I tell myself, it’s all alright
I’m safe, but I never feel secure
Detached, but I’m never too sure
No lingering thoughts, can’t you see?
It’s all just irony, irony to me
I tried so hard to make it seem
Like nothing ever held onto me
But the truth is hidden in disguise
In all the words, in all the lies
I’m not longing for what’s gone away
But irony’s got a funny way
Of creeping back into my view
Telling me there’s nothing left to pursue
No attachments, just irony
In every turn, in everything I see
What I wanted never came to light
But I tell myself, it’s all alright
I’m safe, but I never feel secure
Detached, but I’m never too sure
No lingering thoughts, can’t you see?
It’s all just irony, irony to me
Every choice feels like it’s lost
Every word comes at a cost
I thought I’d be stronger by now
But irony’s a game I can’t figure out
I say I’ve moved on from it all
But the irony is, I’m still in freefall
There’s no holding on, no turning back
No attachments, just the irony I track
No attachments, just irony
In every turn, in everything I see
What I wanted never came to light
But I tell myself, it’s all alright
I’m safe, but I never feel secure
Detached, but I’m never too sure
No lingering thoughts, can’t you see?
It’s all just irony, irony to me
