about

R.I.P. is the 3rd single off of Sydni Budelier's upcoming debut album. The song captures the spirit of the album and represents her farewell to self-limiting beliefs that once held her back in the aftermath of abuse.

lyrics

I couldn’t help it if I loved you
I tried to sing the hymns to calm your mind
I never wanted anything more than this
But I never thought I could be anything but quiet

I tried to summon what was left of us
I tried to listen but I couldn’t find it
Until I shouted across the void
And heard it echo from the other side

I can’t lift another ghost from the grave
I can’t retract the words I gave
I hope you hear me from a distant place
Somewhere where you wear a smile always

I couldn’t help it if I loved you
I couldn’t separate the dark from light
I tried to whisper through the white noise
But I can’t deny the truth a proper voice

I tried to call you back to yourself
So that I could say good-bye
And I said exactly what I meant and
Stood to watch a past life die
