All it took was a bus ride to realize that everything has changed
I stare at the window while remembering you and it feels a bit strange
The cars passing by seem to be just like our love that went by so fast
A picture of us under the moon and the stars that was all in the past

All it took was a bus ride to realize how awful was the sound of your laughter
I feel the slightest pinch of ache knowing you are sound asleep next to another
While I am moving away from this place and its city lights,
I pray for peace of mind and less of the sleepless nights

All it took was a bus ride to realize that you were a lesson I cannot avoid
And you could not say the reason why my heart was left with a large void
This empty seat beside me reminds me of the bittersweet story that we had
If I could just turn back time, I will take us back to when everything was rad

All it took was a bus ride to realize that you are not my destination anymore
Sometimes I see myself waiting outside of your front door
I’m on a bus with strangers who are probably escaping something too
While you are still your usual self, the one who hasn’t even got a clue

All it took was a bus ride to realize that love does not stand a chance
You were fighting your own battle, I was alone in our circumstance
How many can understand the agony of losing someone, maybe only a few
But I’m on a bus and I’m headed home—away from the feelings I had for you.
