I remember
I remember
I remember the day you reappeared

And I wondered
And I wondered
Why I never noticed that you had disappeared

What is it that makes us
Go so far around and out of bounds
In order to
Prove to you
And you to me
That we just don't... Really
Give a ****

I expected
I expected
That this one was going to be the last

Cause we're sinking
We're sinking
This emptiness between us has gotten so **** vast

That I know
That I know
Crashing and burning whenever we say words so unkind
That we end upΒ Β living and dying
On handouts and borrowed time

Floating around so aimless
Empty and nameless
Caught up in all the sameness
That comes from finally seeing
Finally seeing that I was being
Guilty of thinking of myself as blameless

I remember
I remember
I remember the moment you reappeared
It's funny how the choices we make
Changes the view
Of how it is I look at myself
And that changes
The way that I see you.
