How can i be drowning
When i'm standing above water
How can i be falling
When i've already hit the ground
How can i still hope
After seeing you leave
There's nothing left to take
Yet i'm still being robbed
I'm holding out my heart
Wishing you’d break it
Just so i couldn't feel
So i could stop loving you
Without a beating heart
There can be no love
And all love has ever done is crush me

Cos I'm just here
trying to hold on
to the frayed rope
we all call hope

I'm so confused just trying to work out
who I am
who I'm supposed to be
what makes me happy
feeling so lost
with no sense of identity

I don’t hate you
I hate the broken heart you left me with

Because once upon a time
Means back in the day
And back in the day means you couldn’t stay
And even though you couldn’t stay
You didn’t figure it out until it was too late
To late to say goodbye

And now I’m left with a broken heart
A void that cannot be filled
Because there is no longer a still
We are not still friends
We are not still making memories
We are not still
We are once upon a time

And I maybe , almost, coulda, woulda
loved you
But I gave up to early
And you didn’t fight
So now you’re just a might have been

I wiped at the window
Until I could see clearly
Through the tears that threatened my facade
The tears that told the truth
Which I swallowed with the lump in my throat.
