We all try to live in sync
In time without consequences
Like skin without the ink
Pure, without all the markings
Of life we live so bitter
And so full of regret
We can't help but consider
A distant fragile end
We were bred to call it life
But have only grown to struggle
Looking back from where I am
It never really ends
We're too petty to agree
Our love was only letters
I knew you better then
Now we are only strangers
And we ended it so bitter
And so full of regret
We couldn't help but consider
A sure and shallow end
We thought we had it made
But only made each other suffer
Looking back from where I am
It should have ended years ago
I made it all up years ago
I made it up so you would learn to love me
Allow me to explain
I swear I'll make it short
Allow me to explain
I swear it's worth your while
I fill these blank pages
With lies and false statements
Like crooks in their cages
Just left there to rot
I fill these small stairwells
With stories and tall tails
Like a train where the track fails
All hope is gone
Set up like a sonnet
The line ends regardless
But like a drop through a faucet
It never seems to stop
So if it's just how you planned it
To the breath your life ended
From the moment you saw him
You knew we'd gone wrong
