lyrics

I can’t turn back or close my eyes
I can’t listen to my own lies
Why would I waste time to pretend;
That I meant more than I did then?
You wouldn’t recognize my face
You wouldn’t call me by my name
If not now, would you tell me when;
That I meant more than I pretend?

Better off on my own
If I’m not who you hold
If I’m out of sight, will I stay in your mind?
I had thought you would know
I am not who you hold
If I’m out of sight, will I stay in your mind?

I could not wait for you to stay
I forget you more every day
Why would I waste time to pretend;
That I meant more than I did then?

Better off on my own
If I’m not who you hold
If I’m out of sight, will I stay in your mind?
I had thought you would know
I am not who you hold
If I’m out of sight, will I stay in your mind?

Waiting, saving
Our lies caved in
I find our time was spent half-blind
