bitter break-up song #54


i feel like i don't know you at all now
you're just a blurry image of yourself stained with ego
and i'm walking down this street all alone
i am walking to get away from the pain that i know

i used to miss your voice on the phone when i'd get home
but now i recall how cold it had always been in my ear
i recall seeing an unloving face staring back at me
every time i shed a tear

yeah, we both cried the whole time
we even decided to try again
when we knew we just had to let go
but what we lost here wasn't what we thought we had

i keep walking by these places that we both knew
but your gaze was always so incredibly skewed
you never saw the things that i needed you to see
in fact, you never even saw me.


chorus

if this is all it ever was to me, then why did it hurt so bad?
if this is all it was to you, then why did you sound so sad?

i keep hearing your footsteps catching up behind me
and i know i need to run from your view
i am turning the corner now just to get away from you
i'm going to a place we never knew
a place far away from you.

yeah, we both cried the whole time
we even decided to try again
when we knew we just had to let go.
