She was trying so hard just to keep them together,
It was taking all his strength not to fall apart,
He was trying to remember why he shouldn’t just forget about her,
She was fighting all the reasons why she wanted them to work it out

Cried herself to sleep about the words she couldn’t say aloud,
Couldn’t decide why if she meant it they wouldn’t come out,
Wondering if it would even have made a difference,
He probably knew anyways, long before she ever did

He watched as his words tore the heart from her chest,
Didn’t know what to do as the pain rolled down his cheek,
Delivering every line perfectly,
"Things just aren’t the way they used to be"

Promising, "you’re still so important to me,"
Her response is lost as the audience applauds,
She’s left standing with a gaping hole and a memory,
He walks away with her heart, his freedom, and a song

He cant be himself when he doesn’t know who he is,
She doesn’t recognize herself, but at least she had him,
Now they’re both alone with no hand to hold,
Walking on their own, identity remaining unknown
