I think it's safe to say you're gone
Never expected you to stay for too long
I stood by when he stole your heart
so sure he'd break you apart
Never thought you'd do it to yourself
If you've been faking all this time
your feelings weren't real,but what about mine?
you showed me what it's like to
fall in love with someone like you
to open up and let go
something I've never really known
Did you sing me a fake melody
on my porch that evening?
Did the sunset remind you you needed to leave?
When you told me you loved me
were you lying through your teeth?
Should've seen the truth behind your lies
I guess I was just too focused on your eyes.
I'm throwing you a lifeboat
and you're insisting you know how to swim.
you can't tread water forever
I'm trying to pull you to shore
but all you do is push me away
All you gotta do is give me the word
tell me it hurts, tell me you're bleeding
If you never try you'll never know
I know you don't want to be a ghost.
Playing video games on my floor,
didn't realize it was perfect until you'd gone.
Shaking hands clutching milkshakes
in the middle of Winter
the girl who taught me how to love
won't love me back.
