I flip a coin, I flip a coin
Heads or tails? You crack a smile
What will it take for you to join
What would it take to make it worthwhile

You give a glance that says another time
But I’m reckless and impatient, I’m bound to do wrong
Why does loving you seem so much like a crime
I remain silent as you drag us along

Maybe it was a mistake
Or just maybe it is what was needed
For you, I could never forsake
And our feelings have been pleaded

Before you go tell me once more
Is there a future with us
Is there a version where my heart is not tore
I kiss you before you get on the bus

The months that I followed, I couldn’t shake the tears in my eyes
I guess you couldn’t either, so you called
The truth gets hard, sometimes it’s easier to tell lies
But you said you were coming back, right after the fall

It seemed like we were finally ready to make something out of this misery
We had all our hopes and dreams, but we never got far
That life will always remain a mystery
All that’s left is a one-page obituary, form an overdose is your car
