lyrics

After everything else and all that you said
Do you honestly think we could do it again
Like we did for a while, a tongue in a cheek
A language we learned, then forgot how to speak
You've been stuck in a haze, a pattern displayed
By moments we had but you let get away
Cause you held it too close and kept it inside
The life that you want but you'll never ignite
You were right

I guess everything good does fade
I moved on but it hurts to change
You stayed still like it'd hurt less
Like the cuts wouldn't break skin
And we used to embrace the feeling
Like your walls didn't need a ceiling
Like your windows would stay closed
Cut the draft of your last home

After everything else and all that you said
Do you honestly think it was all in your head
From the cracks in the wall to the hole in your heart
To the tick in your brain that you can't pick apart
You've been stuck in a maze and tried to retrace
The steps that you took but they faded away
You'll be safe for a while but the curtain will fall
And the wool on your eyes will mean nothing at all
You were right
