lyrics

It's funny now looking back,
At just how hard I tried and lied to you to cover my tracks.
To keep avoiding everything I always wanted to say,
I kept on pushing, always pushing you further away.
And now you're gone, and I just can't get you off of my mind,
And all I hope is that things will get better with time,
Because I know that all I did and all I said,
What just a cover to keep me from losing a friend.
What a stupid frame of mind.

And I remember every moment that night,
Just like a movie, everything slowed down in time.
The way you moved, the way your smile lit up the room,
And the way your eyes seemed to pierce right on through me.
And the way your hand fit tightly in mine,
And how easily you downed that bottle of wine,
And when I walked you back, and we said our goodbyes,
I turned away without a word and swallowed my pride.

And now I'm,
Thinking of all the things I said, and all the things I did.
My worst kept lie...I'm trying to get by.
When I look into your eyes, I wanna' make it right,
But we're all out of time; just trying to get by.

Did what I had to do, but I still think of you,
And all we could have been. I'm trying to get by.
A cowardly mistake. The choice was mine to make.
My worst kept lie...just trying to get by.

And it's hard now thinking back,
To our last week because composure is what I lacked.
And every night it's like I just kept hearing your name.
It pierced right through me like a knife, so I numbed the pain,
And I left it up to alcohol to be my crutch,
And I gave into my anger; it was all too much.
Looking back, it's like a dream, like a reverie,
And you'll never know how much that you meant to me.
What a stupid little lie.
