about

Dear Sarah is an indie folk breakup letter of a song. Because, well, sometimes it’s okay to write sad songs…

lyrics

Sarah, all I have are questions
I don’t have the answers yet
Even with the best intentions
We were running up a debt
Until the time had come to pay it
I guess that’s what you get
At least we’ll always have Berlin
Strolling through the Tiergarten last Spring

Sarah, all I ever wanted
Was to see you smile
Instead of always looking haunted
The defendant in a trial
But every time I tried to solve it
I just made it worse
At first I didn’t see it, now I do
I only wish that you could see it too

And I don’t have much to say
But I’m going to say it anyway
Even if I hesitate
To set it down
To set it right down
It’s three o’clock at night
I stare into this square of light
Try to find a way to write
To tell you why
I just can’t say goodbye

You were standing in the garden
In that dress your mother made
The leaves were pale and golden
As the light began to fade
I could see that you’d been crying
In that understated way
That Sarah, you would always do
As if you hadn’t really wanted to

And I don’t have much to say
But I’m going to say it anyway
Even if I hesitate
To set it down
To set it right down
It’s three o’clock at night
I stare into this square of light
Try to find a way to write
To tell you why
I just can’t say goodbye

I can’t say goodbye
I can’t say goodbye...
