lyrics

Hey kid, I see you're getting older, half broke, with the weight on your shoulders.
back then, it was you and her vs the world, now you're one of loves sad soldiers.
you kick yourself, said you should've done better, it's too late for a tear soaked letter.
you get nervous, open up and give her your heart, but the more you give, the more it falls apart.
now I'm not saying there's any blame here,
it's just the way it goes with lifes changes,
But isn't it funny how you can be so close, and now, you don't even talk.

you see lately, I feel a bit crazy, I don't know who I am or what I used to be,
what on earth did I spend my time doing, I go to work but the days all stay the same.
and all my friends say I should stop calling, live my own life, go out chirpsin'
but that's a little hard for me to do because...
nothing compares to you.


Is this what you call desperation, is this how we tear it apart, I can't sleep no more coz I'm breaking, sewing up these broken hearts.
Is this what we call the end, and pretend there was never a start, 4 years I'm just meant to forget, sewing up these broken hearts.

You know what's crazy, sometimes I'm happy, and for a wreck I'm not doing that badly.
If you stop to think for a minute, life's not really that bad is it.
So came the day when I had to give her key back, not the best plan, I broke down and she held my hands, she said you know I still love you but understand.
I never meant it to be this way, I try to hold on but it always breaks in my hands, the world keeps falling around me til I forget the person I am,
and I said I'm doing just fine, I'll get over you but in my own time,
See I can't sleep, and my hearts like lead, because you were simply the best.

I'll forget if you really want, I'll forget how you made me laugh,
I'll forget those nights we spent wishing morning would never come

I'll forget all our favourite songs, I'll forget how you used to miss me,
but most of all,
I'll forget that you ever existed
