Lyrics
I told you once, told you twice
But you chose not to take advice from me
Told you three times, thought you'd learn
You can't change the direction that we turn
By running in place, the world can't keep pace
You lean to speak but hesitate, the time wasn't right
It's hard to see you in any other light
Than the one that hangs above your bed
And although this diner may be brighter
Makes it easier to hide behind your
Sense of righteous sympathy
Sarcasm seemed like your domain
With each joke your interest wains for me
The mask you have looks awful tight
Trick is that you wear it right
I can see your hair, tells me that you're under there
Try to say your face is bare but I swear those are strings
It's hard to see you in any other life
Than the one I pictured in my head
Though I still witness it in images and quoted lines
Feels empty when it isn't you and me
But I keep holding on
Waiting by my phone
Taking loans on love when its overdrawn
And yeah I know you're gone
Doesn't mean I've figured out how to be alone
