I made us coffee in the morning as my way of saying sorry
When I looked back on warmer days
When my eyes could easily hold your gaze
Now it's not the same
We silently admitted our wrong ways
Laying in my bed, when I reached for your hand
I said, "I love you," and added, "as a friend"
And your breath paused
And we chose to believe it
Now I hardly see you
It's not just cause I'm in Chicago
I wanted you to be more than a senior summer stamp
And stay in my memory
How can we both confide our problems without triggering the other's?
How can I pick us both up off the ground?
How can we push and pull the right amount?
When do your problems stop being mine?
Can I separate our lives?
No, I don't want to
I don't want to
I said, "I love you," and added, "as a friend"
And your breath paused
And we chose to believe it
Now I hardly see you
It's not just cause I'm in Chicago
I wanted you to be more than a senior summer stamp
And stay in my memory
I'm not a bad person for trying to kill my sadness
