lyrics

I had a dream just last night, that you and I were having the times of our lives * You saw me, you smiled, you said we’re free * That’s when I woke up and saw you weren’t next to me * This never was * This never will * This never has * Is this overkill * And I just wish it didn’t end this way * Now I see you with him every day * Everything seems better when it’s what you can’t have * I’ll appear to be fine but I’m torn in half * Some things just can’t be reversed and some things are better rehearsed * The weight on my back is pulling me down and don’t look up if I see you around * This never was * This never will * This never has * Is this overkill * And I just wish it didn’t end this way * Now I see you with him every day * Everything seems better when it’s what you can’t have * I’ll appear to be fine but I’m torn in half * Just please don’t forget my name * Just promise me you’ll stay the same and I’ll be here until that day when his light dies and floats away * My mind is wrapped around your thoughts and all the things that you’d forgot * That glimmer, that hope, is fading thin like that sliver of sun when the night begins * I just wish it didn’t end this way * Now I see you with him every day and everything seems better when it’s what you can’t have * I’ll appear to be fine but I’m torn in half
