about

The release of ‘I Swore I’d Stop Writing About You’ marks singer-songwriter Jaime Wong's departure from the theme of her initial debut self-titled EP. The single, while still about a failed relationship, touches on finally getting to the point of seeing things the way they are – no longing, just acceptance, reflecting Jaime’s mental conflict of constantly writing about the same subject matter or person.

lyrics

Steady hands, hold my gaze
I'm home
Lock the door, lay in bed
I'm home
Cruelty prefers abstraction
You made your leaving so simple
I swore I’d stop writing about you

Settle down, pick my pen
I’m home
Thought of you, drop my pen
I’m home
“The truth will set you free”
But these chains don’t come with keys
I swore I’d stop writing about you
I swore I’d stop writing about you

Read a book, play guitar
I'm home
Move my bed, hit my head
You know
“It’s better to have loved than never”
Your words they don’t really matter
I swore I’d stop writing about you

This is it
What it’s meant to be
There’s no shame in love
I've lived outside of reality
(To love is to know
to know is to let go
of things you don’t know
you were never mine;
you were never known)

Step outside, learn new things
You’re gone
And that’s fine, people go
I'm home
Let my words flow, write whatever
There’s no need for a proper structure
I’ll give no rhyme and no reason
If it’s you then I will be honest

But I swore I’d stop writing about you
