lyrics

she said
"hope is a dangerous thing boy
don't ever wear it close to your heart"
what did you come here to say?
your words are so difficult to decipher
soaked in shame and guilt

is this even a conversation?
when arguments are replaced by sad statements

it was so simple to fail this time
just feeling helpless

how many times am i supposed to catch you?
when you fall down on me

we held our love above our heads
while walking miles on ocean floors

how does it feel to commit to failure?

is this the season when we say goodbye to those we love?
i've been dreaming of hibernation
as the asphalt consumes the first leaves of this fall
and summer leaves me with a feeling of vague regret

i felt sorry for crying
i didn't want to make you sad
but i never mentioned how empty you make me feel
you're a shadow i cast on myself

i'm smiling with friends now more often than ever
but i still sleep alone
i always imagine you sad and drunk
spending what you once said was mine

i think i'm done whining about the past
and how things didn't turn out

i wish that i could show you
how you made me feel

i've given all i got
i've tried my best to fix it, but it broke
and even though it's comfortable
i'm tired of failure

later i might say
these are just the lyrics of a sad song
that it's just one side of the story
but do you remember the last two years?

is this what you meant by forever?
