lyrics

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

I remember every moment that night,
Like a movie, everything slowed down in time.
The way you moved, how 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, we said our goodbyes,
I turned away without a word and swallowed my pride.

No shame in holding you tight.
There's fire in your eyes, it burns the night away.
This can't be good.
A smile, as fingers entwine,
I'm out of my mind. Lord, help me,
I'm killing one thought at a time.

Today, what seemed a hopeful start,
Lit fire in my heart, it burns and I can't sleep.
This isn't good.
Mistakes that blur love and hate.
They take away your grounded state of mind,
Now I'm 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.
