We moved in separate directions, just like everyone else in the movies you were so fond of That summer I told you I never wanted to leave And the words fled your mouth so easily I buried my head in your hands just like i used to when I was young and so naïve I wished things were easier But they couldn't be
2.
You could not utter one collegiate word To describe the summer that tore you apart You feared your twenties would swallow you whole, so you tried your best to forget The promises you made you knew would never come true And what you swore could never come undone (if it killed you) So what’s the use in tearing both our hearts out? Don’t speak, you’ll swallow your words like when you were eighteen
3.
I remember that night and the words you said as we slipped into things and places more comfortable. It meant nothing to you, but everything to me. So much for The City, so much for The Fall For good friends, and waiting for you.
4.
Time spent was wasted on things said, not meant for your ears, Not meant for anyone If you put your ear to my heart Could you hear what you’ve been searching for? “You held my heart, you always will, I’m sorry for everything” Ever is always too late for appologies. So I learned to bite my tongue and not waste my words on you.
5.
October went on forever and you still harbored thoughts of leaving. The nights were long, our hearts were heavy and we knew, we knew No words could be spoke to keep you here. I thought of what I’d say when you came back, if you came back "It's been a long year waiting for you!"
6.
You wrapped your arms around me for the last time That last day of summer. Our trip out to the coast didn’t mean as much to you As it did to me, as it did to me Like when you told me you never wanted to leave this place, or me We were only seventeen and the world was ours, We knew just what we wanted For everything to be alright.
7.
We both knew that time had come to say goodbye, so don’t muddy it with your words “Just let what’s dead be dead” were words to hold onto and keep me from the truth I feared I already knew You promised nothing but words I hoped you’d never speak A year is a long time to waste, a year is a long time to waste If I could, I’d take back everything I’ve wasted If I could, I’d take back everything
8.
Turns out you’re right, because I’m not fine, like you promised I’d be Those nights we spent in your bed, while you wished away the spring. I remember nights you spoke so sweetly about leaving me and moving out East. And I’ll never know why you can’t ever feel the same in the morning
9.
Do you remember that night December '04 Us two kids discussed what goes on behind closed doors and we tried to hold on to our innocence for far too long Do you recall the temperature, a balmy 33 The snow fell so fast, but landed so gracefully That was the night that I felt safe Our words meant nothing, our actions - the same! So soften the words in your mouth (Spit them out!) and forget everything that was said, they're only empty promises to bring us down!
10.
You told yourself to forget everything she said to you That night you spent with open hearts You spoke your words, you kept nothing back And she said “You’re better off alone.” And you said “I’m better off alone?!” When you were just a kid, you kept your promises and your head up high it’s getting harder to do that these days. She asked “are you alright?” “yes dear” was far from the truth (Hoping that you could come back home)
11.
You wished it wasn’t but you knew it was too late to take back what you said In better times, not wrought with fear (of self doubt) Or that the secrets you carried would crush you Their weight was more than you could bear You blamed yourself for things you can’t control And you knew nothing could change this, nothing could change! Do you remember when you swore you’d let go? You never let go.
