I keep seeing my heart break over and over again
The look you gave her I wish that was me instead
Sometimes my brain plays tricks on me
Imagining you'd hold my hand like you do hers
You're my inspiration for every painting
A heart on your shield, leading us forward
The monster that settled in me, I can still feel it
Goosebumps running to the back of my neck
I can hear it whisper in the darkness
The images it showed me haunt me in my dreams
So I try to hide in my memories, ones of you and I
All my drawings that I've given you
All my feelings that I grew for you
We were only kids, so we didn't know
I am the person who loves you
Few days I'm gone and you found someone new
Someone special, not like any other
Captured your attention, left me in shambles
You laced her name in every sentence you said
I can not stand the pain it brings
You stopped caring about everything that has to do with me
You leave the table the minute the phone rings
You refuse to even look at me
I fall apart while it rains
I wreck the place we used to play
The once filled with laughter, joy and adventure
Now the castle has fallen down
Stupid ••• stupid ••• stupid
This whole thing is stupid
I heard you rushed here to apologise
I'm somewhere you can't find
I remember us sitting in the backseat
Sleepover at my place
Biking down our way
Even on Halloween
You saved me from my mind
Together we'll go crazy
The swings are my favorite in the park
And for years you wondered why
I thought your eyes forgot mine
Sometimes I don't know
Should I stay or should I go ?
Summer '85 went by like a breeze
Nothing has changed, we're always facing Stranger Things
Side by side in front of danger
Trying to win against all odds
This all sounds like something out of our own imagination
No one will ever believe the stories we lived
Sometimes I think I'm dreaming cause it's all so impossible
Are we still in that basement running our own campaign ?
