I fell in love with you When we were sitting on the roof And the wind blew through your hair And in that moment I could not deny That my feelings for you Were as infinite and endless as the sky As the sky As the sky As the sky As the sky And as I laid next to you And watched the clouds rolling by I couldn’t be happier if I tried And when you took my hand in yours And pulled it close to you I knew you felt the same You felt the same You felt the same You felt the same You felt the same And as we looked up at the sky In our altered state of mind You saw something horrible, You got quite emotional You started to cry I didn’t know why I wonder what could have gotten you so down I didn’t realize it then But I think you saw the future And realized we were making a mistake Was it all a mistake? Was it all a mistake? Was it all a mistake? Was it all a mistake?

My rose colored glasses, The greenest of grasses Sun sets in the valley The days big finale Colors unimagined Enter my irises with passion A sip of cold beer I wouldn’t want to be anywhere but here Orange, red and yellow The music playing mellow The street lights turn on The sun is almost gone I’m finally coming down Friends all around Time moves like molasses Through my rose colored glasses My rose colored glasses My rose colored glasses My rose colored glasses My rose colored glasses
3.
Dawn, it breaks I’m still wide awake The whole night through I can’t sleep But when I finally do, I’ll sleep deep And dream of you The whole night through I will dream of you Morning comes, I still slumber on Half past noon I awake Wishing you were here to hold me close Don’t let me go I miss you so So please don’t let me go Evenings here I watch the sun disappear Memories of you Will help me make it through The night, until sunlight Come hold me tight Cause it feels so right Dawn, it breaks I’m still wide awake The whole night through I can’t sleep But when I finally do, I’ll sleep deep And dream of you The whole night through I will dream, of, you
4.
How can you stop Seeing your nightmares In daylight, it’s not right How can you feel At all real When you’re seeing, your feelings Sometimes when you know what’s gonna happen You make it happen subconsciously And only when you’re free from projections Can you see reality How can you change The way your mind works So it doesn’t do what makes it hurt How do you start Separating Insecurity from reality Sometimes when you know what’s gonna happen You make it happen subconsciously And only when you’re free from projections Can you see reality
5.
Tell me what do I do? With all the love songs I wrote When I listen to them now they make me sad And when I play them it hurts Tell me what do I say? To make it all go away To go back to a time when you’d hold me And say it’ll all be ok Chorus: And I still love--- you And I still love--- you And I’d do anything, anything, anything To make you happy Even if it means leaving, leaving, leaving you alone Tell me what do I do? With this love-sick heart I’ve been trying to hold it together But now its falling apart Tell me how do I stop? These tears from pouring out When all I want to do is Scream and scream and shout Chorus Tell me what do I do? With all the memories we made I’ve been holding them tight late at night As if they were you Tell me how do I stop? This pain that I feel When it feels like everything we shared Was never even real Chorus
6.
Could I have turned it around? Could I have made it work? Was it something I did? Or was it something I didn’t do? Chorus: Or was it meant to be? I was just born to be alone Was it simple fate? Heartbreak written in the stars Did I do enough? Or did I do too much? Did I push you away? Or did I pull you too close? Chorus Did I love you too strong? Or Did I love you all wrong? Did I hurt you bad? Did I make things worse? Chorus
7.
So it is over there is nothing to be done I wish things were different, but wishing’s not enough Farewell my love I hope to be friends again soon So even though there is pain no regrets, no regrets Chorus: So love hard, love long, love often, love strong Love hard, love long, love often, love strong Even when it hurts, especially when it hurts Even when it hurts, especially when it hurts I miss you already, well I’ve been missing you awhile You’re so far away but if you’d have me I’d walk every mile But I know you don’t want me you have a separate trail to walk now So even though there is pain no regrets, no regrets Chorus Falling in love with you, lifted my heart You helped me get through things when I didn’t even know where to start And though our time is over I feel better for the ride So even through the pain no regrets, no regrets Chorus
8.
Sometimes in my head I’m still in that car You’re driving too fast You’re acting bizarre Please slow down I’m begging you I’m freaking out I don’t know what to do Sometimes in my head I’m still in the passenger seat You’re speeding up My life flashes before me I’m praying to gods I’ve never believed in I’m apologizing For all my sins Sometimes in my head I’m still on that road I’m so scared My hearts about to explode You must not care about me Cause you’re making me cry You must hate me so much I really don’t want to die Sometimes in my head I’m still freaking out It’s been 44 miles And you haven’t slowed down We finally get to your place I’m amazed I’m not dead I try to think what happens next But the memory ends I know you said that you’re sorry I know I forgave you I know you said that you loved me I know I said I love you too I know that you promised It would never happen again But I also know that it did
9.
You begged me to kill you, in my room And then hit me when I didn’t approve I thought that’s what love was I thought that’s what love was You said such hurtful things, to me To get me to leave you alone so you could cut yourself I thought that’s what love was I thought that’s what love was I wrapped your wounds in my Sufjan shirt And then forgave you again, again I thought that’s what love was I thought that’s what love was If you say you love me I will let you hurt me If you say you love me I will let you hurt me If you say you love me I will let you hurt me If you say you love me I will let you hurt me
10.
Chorus: Trying not to hurt Trying not to feel anything Trying to stop the pain Trying to fall out of love But I still remember How we’d sleep together How you’d hold me close And say you’d never let me go away But it had to end It was time my friend At least that’s what you said But its still hard to believe That I’ll never hold you tight Stay up with you all night Chorus But you’re still so close To my heart I can feel you there As if we were never apart But you had to go Yes I know You tried for sure It just wouldn’t work My love not up to snuff I just was not enough Chorus
11.
Sing a song With no notes It’s just a feeling Power out Candle light It’s just a feeling Light two cigs With the flame One for you, one for me Go outside In the snow But it’s warm With you--- With you--- Write a poem With no words It’s just a feeling A blank page Drops of blood It’s just a feeling Burn the page With the flame Wrap the wound Though the scar will stay Nothings left But the ash And the poem That’s in you--- In you--- Take a picture With no film It’s just a feeling Let the image Sear in your mind It’s just a feeling Candles out Heat is off Warm ourselves Skin to skin It is dark It is cold But I’m still ok With you--- With you--- I dreamed a dream Of a song Of a poem Of a picture Then wake up All alone It was all just a feeling But the words And the notes And the picture Are now there In me, In me, In me, In me In me--- In me---
12.
I won’t lie I’ve wanted to die I’ve tried, and I’ve tried I’ve tried my whole life But I’m still alive And I’m starting to thrive It’s been really weird To have a good year

about

“I thought that's what love was” 

Based in Rochester, New York, songwriter Olivia Clarke has never shied away from thinning the line between art and life, often using melody as a linking factor. Her new album, "Trying To Fall Out Of Love", continues this notion, interweaving topics of mental illness, trauma, and moments of love and loss with a vulnerable, urgent space. Her songs intimately cut through to reality as a means of seeing meaning in every gesture, whether it be spending time with loved ones or appreciating the end of a summer's day.
