Once, I used to wait up all night
To talk to you
And we'd talk alright
And we'd mend ourselves.
Once, I used to pride myself in
Saying you were mine
And you would nod and agree
And we were mending ourselves.
Once, I left
And you left
And we tried so, so hard to keep it
But we knew we were losing it
Inside, we knew
But neither of us said what we were fearing
We just mended ourselves.
Once, I left
And I changed.
And I was so afraid you weren't
Going to love this new me
So I avoided you like the rain does the Sahara
And I mended myself.
Now I feel so guilty!
Because I know you're hurting
And I can't help but
Want to talk to you but
I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't
Do it
I can't talk to you.
And don't you dare think that
I don't feel guilty
Because trust me I can see your
Messages

And I have to sit there and
Watch them go off!
But I can't talk to you.
Because I was scared
And now
I'm cold.
