Heartbreak Anniversary

Giveon

Ooh

Balloons are deflated

Guess they look lifeless like me

We miss you on your side of the bed, mmm

Still got your things here

And they stare at me like souvenirs

Don’t wanna let you out my head

Just like the day that I met you, the day I thought forever

Said that you love me, but that’ll last for never

It’s cold outside like when you walked out my life

Why you walk out my life?

I get like this every time

On these days that feel like you and me

Heartbreak anniversary

’Cause I remember every time

On these days that feel like you and me

Heartbreak anniversary, do you ever think of me?

(Oh-ooh) No

(Ooh) No, no, no

(Ooh, ooh) Ooh, nah (Ooh)

I’m buildin’ my hopes up

Like presents unopened to this day

I still see the messages you read, mmm

I’m foolishly patient (Foolishly patient)

Can’t get past the taste of your lips (Taste of your lips)

Don’t wanna let you out my head

Just like the day that I met you, the day I thought forever

Said that you love me but that’ll last for never

It’s cold outside like when you walked out my life

Why you walk out my life? (My life)

I get like this every time

On these days that feel like you and me

Heartbreak anniversary

’Cause I remember every time

On these days that feel like you and me

Heartbreak anniversary, do you ever think of me?

(Oh-ooh) Of me

(Ooh) ’Cause I think of you, think of you

(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)

Review

Giveon combines classic melodies, a breathtaking baritone voice, timeless song writing, and modern R&B production to create a music style that somehow feels familiar but simultaneously sounding like no one else. The slow and simple piano chords shine a bright spotlight on Giveon’s gorgeous vocals. The lyrics address the melancholy mood one feels after a breakup.
