Lyrics
I've been dreading sitting down to write this song
'Cause I know that when I do it means you're really gone
I'm putting it off but it's time I move on
I've got so much to say since you tore us apart
This is my side of the story straight from my aching heart
But since you know the end let's go back to the start
We met on a Thursday
You smiled in the worst way
The first second you laid eyes on me
I knew I was done
See, I've heard all about you
My bestfriend said to look out for you
And I promised him I wouldn't fall for you
That was lie number one
We talked in the back of the car
He drove while I memorized who you are
And when I spoke you listened intently
Like every word was a piece of art
As we passed the city I was looking at you
I didn't care for the lights cause I had a better view
And you said you'd never let me get hurt
Well that was lie number two
You gave me your sweatshirt the very first night
I thought it'd swallow me whole but it fit just right
I should've known we were doomed
If I thought wearing your clothes meant all of the stars had aligned
By the second day we were stuck together like glue
If someone couldn't find me they'd go looking for you
Cause where you were is where I'd be and that's
The irony of how drastically the space between us grew
But back then I was naive and
You gave me something I belived in
I opened up about my trust issues
And you made me think you had them too
Before you, I was always kept like a secret
But you would've screamed it from the rooftops for all to see
That I was your girl and you were proud to say so
But now knowing what I know that was lie number three
You'd interrupt me just to tell me I was pretty
It always caught me off guard and I'd forget what I was saying before
My cheeks would turn bright red, you'd smile and change the subject
And it's sad that looking back I have to ask
Was that lie number four?
We made so many plans that would never happen
But let's not talk about that
Let's go back to the magic
Cause that's what it was
When you chased me down the beach
The first time you put your arm around me
I melted like a little kid, my heart was pounding
When you held me the tightest
Was when I felt most free
You made me feel special
You made me feel safe
You made me feel warm
It was the first time I ever felt like I was adored
I thought there'd be pressure
To be the face in a crowd you look for
But I loved it and I got used to it
And then you got bored
But it was so good
When it was good
Wasn't it?
With your hands on my waist
You
Didn't seem like you could be real
We only had a week but in that time
I got a taste of
How love is supposed to feel
On the interstate you held my hand while you were driving
Consumed with butterflies
I could've sworn that we were flying
We sang the songs on my favorite playlist
That's why I can't listen to it now
Now
My favorite coffee shop is painted blue
Cause I took you there
I can't go to the movies anymore
Cause you kissed me there
I see your face down every street
You left your mark on this town
Your last day here
You packed up your things
You begged me to come with you
And I begged you not to leave
You wiped my tears
As we said our last goodbyes
I know that you liked me
But not enough to be something you keep
Standing on the porch in the cold,
You held my face and promised we'd make the distance work
Then you kissed me for the last time and now when I
Think about your lips on my skin the spots you kissed are to burn
When I walked away from you
I looked back for a second and all I saw was the
Outline of your perfect silhouette
I think I somehow knew
That when I turned around that would be the last
Glimpse of you I'd ever get
You cut me deep and I bled
How could you forget?
All the promises
You made as soon as you left
At first it all was looking good
I stayed up later than I should
Cause you were a couple hours behind
But you still called me every night
Until one day you were stuck in your head
And I knew then there was nothing left
You said you didn't change your mind it's just
Right person, wrong time
So I held on to the hope that two star crossed lovers
Would find each other
Again down the road
But then my bestfriend called me and the truth was addressed
I sat there speechless
He said "I'm sorry but I told you so"
While I've been crying myself to sleep every night
You've been out at bars, kissing girls, you're perfectly fine
I wrapped myself in your sweatshirt on the bathroom floor
I guess I'm another victim who fell prey
To the beautiful lies laced in the words that you say
But you can save your pity for yourself
Cause you need it more
How does it feel?
To know what you've done
To the girl who would've loved you with all that she had
How does it feel?
Does it make you feel sad?
Or are you unaffected
Cause you left all the remnants of us behind to haunt my mind
But you never looked back
It would help me sleep to know you feel just a little bad
Even after it ended I put on my best armor
Cause I believed what we had was worth fighting for
You knew the outcome
But you still watched me as I marched hopelessly into war
I could hate you for letting me lose parts of myself
And for leaving me there when I got shot down
But it's time I clean my own wounds
Wrap them in bandages
And pick myself up off the floor
I'm just scared that now every December
I'll remember you and dig up my past
Then I'll relapse and have to suffer through
The withdrawals of losing you all over again
I close my eyes and I can almost feel you
But I know one day
Your face will start to fade
And your name will just be a name
And maybe
Just maybe
All you'll be is a distant memory by then
You built it up so nice, didn't you?
Sometimes I wish you'd call
But you don't have a reason to
Drifting back into strangers is all that's left to do
I'm just glad I can finally put this down
We've reached the end of the story
Sorry I dragged it out
I spilled my guts
I feel better now
