To me, we were
Two peas in a pod, an act from God
Set in stone
Destined to be whatever we want
Can't let you go
As long as it was just the two of us
The end of the day
You and me, forever this way
Day, after day, after day
But then, the nights grew colder
And the rain fell stronger
Nothing but clouds over our heads
You best believe I'm still trying my best
To keep our heads above water
But it's getting harder and harder
'Cuz when I see you look me in the eyes
I can tell you don't feel butterflies
Crazy to think that we were a thing
Two months ago
What once was love, has turned into dust and
Photos
My dreams of having just the two of us, the end of the day
Has gone away
I'm sorry
You feel nothing when you hold my hand
Honestly
This was never even part of my plan
I just want you to know something
So you won't completely forget
Even though you played me and weighed me down
I don't regret
When the nights grew colder
And the rain fell stronger
When there was nothing but clouds over our heads
When I was trying my very best
To keep our heads above water
When things were getting much harder
When I saw you look me in the eyes
And I knew you didn't feel butterflies
1 2 3 4 5 of us, walking down the drop off
waving at the bus stop
We lock arms side by side and think
We’ll be here forever, our love cannot be measured
But why do I think
That ”love” you guys think, is not including me
And the hands I hold are always freeing cold
And far too out of reach
We held a pinky promise and swore to have our backs
But lately I’ve been on my own
And you can’t deny the facts
That in 1 2 3 4 5 years, you’ll forget about me
You won’t even be sorry
Just wish you could’ve told me
So I could find some better
Friends who’ll stick together
Unlike you
Unlike you
Cuz I’m left out at the rendezvous
Everybody seems to know thinks before I do
I’m not gonna lie, it hurt a lot
To see you moved on quicker than I thought
1 2 3 4 5 of you slowly drifted away
Without a word to say
Goodbye to our promises
That wasn’t in the first place
A promise to begin with
Mmm
Is it bad that I can't sleep at night because of you?
Am I dramatic?
Or am I just acting like a complete fool?
Cuz the thought of you wakes me up in the morning
Just thinking about the things that I would've wanted to do
To do with you
Cuz I can't sleep at night
Without you on my mind
If only you took just a second to notice
My heart only beats for two
And that's me and you, oooh
That’s me and you, oooh
I see you laugh
And I can't help but laugh along too
It's hard to pass
The fact that you don't know me like I
know you
I dream about us, just talking together
It feels like a rush, that makes me forget the truth
The truth that I can't lose
The truth that tells me I'm flawed
That you won’t like me at all
The truth that tells me I'm sick of this mess
Thoughts that have eaten me half to death
Thoughts that keep me up all night
With you on my mind
If only I took just a second to notice
My heart couldn't handle the truth
There's no me and you, oooh
There's no me and you, oooh
No me and you
Do you remember the time when I was your little girl inside?
I was yours and you mine
Then it changed in the blink of an eye
I wake up, you′re nowhere to be found
Beer bottles spread all over the ground
My mother trying not to make a sound
As she cries your name out
If you're listening I′m just wondering
How have things there been without me?
I know it's been too long, but I've been so strong
Even if you didn′t love me
Visits turned into calls
And calls turned to nothing at all
It led me straight to believe
You wanted not a piece from me
Some nights I heard her cry some more
When you didn′t walk through our front door
I questioned, "Why this life? What's all this for?"
My heart was torn
You only came when you needed to
Not because you wanted it
We were never something you′d lose
Just something to deal with
Memories of you just wasted away
You left before I could memorize your face
Wish we had more time
To look us in the eyes
Put our past behind and renew
But if you're listening
I′m just wondering
How it feels to be loved by you?
I hope
That the sun rises tomorrow
And although
It’s darkness that shines through my window
I’m not afraid
To feel the pain
Just have to go through
One more day
I’ll think my thoughts
Till I can’t think no more
Cry a ton until
I’m on the floor
And maybe then
I’ll feel much better
But oh, I just remembered
That I’m nowhere near like Heather
So it repeats
Into an endless cycle
And it should be
Over within the next tidal wave of daily breakdowns
Aaah, aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah, aaah
I’m so sore
From hiding and biting my lip
And there’s more
Sweat coming out of my fingertips
I pray to see a wishing star one night
So I could wish away
And restart my life
Cuz I’ll think my thoughts
Till I can’t think no more
Cry a ton until
I’m on the floor
Maybe then I’ll feel much better
Until I finally remember
That I’m nowhere near like Heather
I've never dated
I've never fell in love
I've never kissed a boy too
And I know that I'm still young
But that doesn't mean a girl can't hope
Mmmm
Yeah
I'm tuning my strings so one day
Someone can hear my song
My heartstrings play for you
My heartstrings play for you
Will you play for me too?
I'll be waiting 'til you do
I roll my eyes
When I see the couples in the school halls
I say, "It’s not the time for love now."
But deep inside, I wish I had that all
I catch melodies from each of their souls
Mmmm
Yeah
Perfect harmony, Thеy touch and form
One half into a whole
My heartstrings play for you
My hеartstrings play for you
Will you play for me too?
I'll be waiting 'til you do
Mmm
You were sitting there
And I thought to myself
What a wonderful time to be alive
You were just sitting there
But it meant everything to me
And I would just stare at you
I physically couldn’t look away
I just had to
Cuz you weren’t just sitting there
You were slowly making everything okay
But couldn’t you tell that I was tryna tell you Something this whole time
And would you believe me if I said I’d spend My nights dreamin’ bout you and I
Come take me out of the darkness
If you’re ready, let me in
No harm in being honest
I’ve been anxiously waiting
For you to tell your truth
How long will it take?
Will you make me wait until the passion fades away?
Cuz it’s been months now
You’re tiring me out
Oh, couldn’t you tell that I was tryna tell you Something this whole time
And would you believe me if I said I'd spend My nights dreamin’ bout you and I
Come take me out of the darkness
If you’re ready, let me in
No harm in being honest
I’ve been anxiously waiting
For you to tell your truth
Come take me out of the darkness
Hold my hand and count to ten
Don’t leave me hanging on
Whatever happens’ll happen
Don’t you wanna see me too?
Light the fire
Let me in
Aren’t you tired
Of all this waiting?
Light the fire
Let me in
Aren’t you tired
Of all this waiting?
Take me out of the darkness
If you’re ready let me in
No harm in being honest
I’ve been anxiously waiting
For you to tell your truth
Come take me out of the darkness
Hold my hand and count to ten
Don’t leave me hanging on
Whatever happens’ll happen
Don’t you wanna see me too?
(Don’t you wanna see me too?)
Aah, aah
Take me out of the darkness
Take me out of the darkness
Take me out of the darkness
Take me out of the darkness
(Aah, aah)
