In the month of June, in year old perfume
I tried to drown you out
Found myself down, stumbling around
only you I thought about

Bought myself breakfast at the place we used to go
Diner lights fight with last nights merlot
Guess I’ll call it a day and try again tomorrow

And I bet you told your mother what a mess I became
To try and keep me from dancing on the back of your brain
It’s not for me to say cause I left you anyways
but sometimes I wish that you would’ve let me stay

We drank a lot of wine together
Maybe we had an alcohol problem but it felt right at the time.
It felt like a toast to the both of us,
A celebration of love for eachother
A toast to every night spent together,
We loved each other but now he loves another
And this is just too much for me to weather

I can’t find the words to say to you
So I went to a florist
Maybe I’ll say it in daisies or maybe peonies will do
I don’t get this sentimental
I hope you don’t think I’m mental as I offer these to you
You’re as sweet as sunshine and I sure wish you could be mine
Because I would shower you in every flower in this room
You’re an intoxicating perfume

I don’t remember how it went anymore
I was too caught up in the emotions to notice when it fell apart
It wasn’t until there was thread spilling over my hands and onto my feet that i realized that none of it was keeping us together anymore
mmmmm how sad all I remember are things going really well and things going really badly.... where was the in between?

Monday morning another day
Pull the covers over my head say
I’m not leaving today

There’s a few new cracks on my ceiling
Looks like you’re leaving again cause I can’t make you stay

And it looks like rain for the rest of the week

You had one more day
Until you got on a plane
And you flew far away

And I wish I had said those words that I had stuck inside my brain

Stay a little longer here inside this house but it’s so broken now
Stay a little longer here
If I forgive you, I won’t know how

Will we be the same as we are now in 3 years?
I don’t wanna wait that long
Do we have to wait that long?
I don’t wanna wait that long

Oh baby, lately I’ve been so lonely
And late at night, you know I can’t sleep
Waking up at 3:00 staring at my ceiling
And I’ll dream of when you were staring at me

Counting your lucky stars that I could be where you are
You’d paint your name on my ceiling and tell me you were never leaving

Oh darling, maybe we were better off as being just friends
Maybe then right now this wouldn’t be the end
But we knew we had to do it
No way to get through it by

Counting your lucky stars that times couldn’t be so hard
Hope I left a mark on your heart cause you know I’ll never be that far
