If my life was a movie
I could look at you and
You'd run back into my arms
And our story would be one of the best on the silver screen

But my life is not a movie
So I could look at you,
If I gained the courage,
And you'd turn away
And I realize that I've really lost you
Or I never had you to begin with

So instead
I'll read our old messages
Or look at our old photos
Listen to songs that remind me of better times
Or read the book I fell in love with
That you gave to me
Watch all the movies I shared with you
And pretend like nothing's wrong
When I can't breathe right
And haven't slept right in weeks
And try to express the emptiness I feel
But never admit it to anyone
