its been a long while seen i’ve seen your face
a world surrounds me and i feel like you’ll be impossible to replace
sometimes the stars shine brighter than your eyes
and i sometimes forget that you broke me down with all the lies

people always told me to protect my heart
that a girl like me was a work of art,
I put you on a pedestal and you forgot that I should have been too.

i hear a song and think about you,
wondering if you think about me too?
a boy riding on his bike passed through the neighbourhood
for a second I thought it was you, but it was too good to be true.

sometimes i hear the ocean waves crashing against the rock
i can almost hear your voice faintly, reminds me of all our talks.
you would tell me where you wanted to go,
the places where we would grow
together.

here i am alone, sitting under the same maple tree
where our lips first met,
your hand touched my face and it burned like a cigarette.

I remember you begged me to quit,
i would have earlier if i knew you wouldn’t have split.
but sitting under this tree thinking about you
has really made me question what i’ve been put through.

the leaves are falling off
the air is cold and crisp
and i can’t help thinking that you’re what i miss.
we always talked about making it here,
colder weather and warmer hearts
i thought we’d be connected, but were so far apart.

i miss you.
