"It only hurts this much right now"
Was what I was thinking the whole time
Turns out it wasn't the butterflies in my stomach
It was the pain of realizing you will be gone
Suddenly all the love songs
I've ever heard
Ended up being all about you
Everything that was wrong
Felt like the right thing to do
That 2am at night
In my bed
In another universe
We were together
And it was surreal
Going to sleep every night
Wishing you'd be by my side
But every time I turned around
Saw my reflection in the mirror
With no trace of you in sight
Told myself it was gonna be alright
Love? More like comfort
You were my getaway
My escape from reality
All I ever wanted
Hold my hand
Whisper into my ear
"We are in this together"
Don't think I can stop caring
Not after going through this much
What I can do though is
Stop showing you that I care
We were built to fall apart
But fall back together
Don't care if we don't end up together
Someday you'll look back and sigh
At all the crazy things
I did to keep you looking at me
