about
Meghan Hayes fearlessly delves into challenging subject matter, this time exploring some of the many ways that a rough upbringing can rear its ugly head later in life, how being lonely and unprotected can breed mistrust and self-protection and the concept that self-reliance can become an inescapable trap.
lyrics
Evangeline
© 2025 Meghan Hayes

Repeating is remembering
I need a source for that
These hands, these bones, this breathless
This breathless trap

We build on the mirage despite
There being nothing there
Not one soul to protect us
Fewer than that, to be fair
We don’t let love break our hearts
Don’t let it get that far, Evangeline

Now somebody else’s past
Is catching up to me
If the shame fits, you wear it
I learned that at your knee

The sun’s withholding all her love
And looking far away
Lucky girls did not grow up
Thinking they were to blame
We don’t let love break our hearts
Don’t let it get that far, Evangeline

When you dropped me
When I was a bird without wings
It was then that I learned
To think of these things
We don’t let love break our hearts
Don’t let it get that far, Evangeline

Sex, caffeine and sugar are
all that’s left for me
I can tell you’re running low
Running low on all three

No rescuer comes swooping down
No truth will set you free
The worst ghost story ever told
Says angels carry me

We don’t let love break our hearts
Don’t let it get that far, Evangeline
We don’t let love break our hearts
Don’t let it get that far, Evangeline
