Let's talk this over, it's not like we're dead

Was it something I did, was it something you said?

Don't leave me hanging, in a city so dead

Held up so high on such a breakable thread

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it

All of the memories so close to me just fade away

All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending

You've got your dumb friends, I know what they say

They tell you I'm difficult, but so are they

But they don't know me, do they even know you?

All the things you hide from me, all the shit that you do

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it

All of the memories so close to me just fade away

All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending

It's nice to know that you were there, thanks for acting like you cared

And making me feel like I was the only one

It's nice to know we had it all, thanks for watching as I fall

And letting me know we were done

He was everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it

All of the memories so close to me just fade away

All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be but we lost it

All of the memories so close to me just fade away

All this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending

Oh, oh, oh, oh
