I watched you drive away and you left me alone with the street lights shining above me,
The wind was cold against my red dress you loved so much and my feet were hurting from the walking I'd done through the lonely streets.
I tried to tell myself this was just another one of those silly fights we would get over the next day but I knew I would never find you standing on my doorstep holding roses.
I knew you would never put your jacket around me when the sky was dark and the night grew colder,
I knew you would never make me another of those mix tapes I loved so much,
I knew you would never hold me tighter when I was being a coward and closed my eyes when the movie was too much for me to handle,
And I knew everything we ever went through would only be memories we would think back on in the future.
I was a girl alone in the cold wearing a red dress and carrying a shattered heart,
Trying to fit the pieces back together and ended up with burning cuts,
When the boy standing across the street offered his hand,
I took it.
