i know my pillow is salty and sullen
i don't want to explain
they say don't borrow grief from tomorrow
but I've still got yesterday
do you replay the moment it ended
lips holding up all my shame
I forgot all the yearning we shouldered
left you
to sit in that place
where strangers all sat
sipping cups of tomorrow
and I couldn't
see
your
face
cause i know that you're better without me
that's how it always goes
I know you're better without me
but we'll still have our schoodays to remember the most
now i hear through a person and person
how you've grown through the pain
i try not wonder if you've heard about
how i'm in love
and all moved away
we both stand on a platform to nowhere
shoulders tensed all the same
mourning the loss of a beautiful dream
hoping greatness arrives any day
waiting for them to call our names
cause i know that you're better without me
better without me
that's how it would always go
i know you're much better without me
i wish you the best doing it on your own
i'm sorry for all the pain that i've caused
i hope you'll still remember our better schooldays
i'll mourn the loss of a beautiful dream
remembering we walked away
remember that time when we were both the same

life is too short to keep things in draft.
