about

“明ming”, the Chinese character for bright or understanding, is made up of two smaller characters –the sun and the moon.

lyrics

A hole in my heart in the shape of you,
I keep on sensing that we are through.
I heard that the sun split up from the moon.
Well maybe that is why I’m confused.

I feel so incomplete
A table and empty seats
Unable to believe
I’ve been holding onto you for too long.

Down falls the rain on cobblestones,
along this weary path, I’m alone.
And a winter coat won’t keep you warm,
when memories of love have long gone.

And stories have beginnings,
but tragedies are only ever endings.
So my heart keeps on breaking.
I’ve been holding onto you for too long.

It doesn’t make sense,
It doesn’t make sense.

I’ve forgotten what I’m worth.
I’ve forgotten all I deserve.
A sentence with no doing word.
Now I know I don’t love you anymore.
Now I know I don’t love you anymore.
I know I don’t love you anymore.

What a great album. It took me a while to really get the whole album but I can confidently say it's one of her best. The shorter songs are certainly a different feel, but I still like it. I could pick like five different songs as my favorite and all of them would feel right lol praisedrays
