And maybe when you get back
This will all make sense
And I can get to you again
But maybe if you get back
And nothing else has changed
Then we forget each other's names
Cause what's the point of wasting
The time we can't get back
On something else we never had
I'm littered with my own past
And trying to make the time last
But it's never what we had
And that's the hardest part
Is admitting to myself
That everybody's gone
And I am someone else
