lyrics
You say that I don't know you
I hate that it's true
You're a stranger to me
Not the girl I once knew
It's been weeks since we last talked
You'd do anything at all
To avoid me, it's like I'm hanging
And all you want’s for me to fall
You say we're not alright
Yeah, that I fucking know
But I wish you'd tell me why
I know it's too late for me to try
I can't do anything to make it right
You've given up, but I'm still here singing
Songs that I wrote you while I lay here screaming
You said you'd never leave, then left me bleeding
So much for always and forever
It hurts me to see you like this
I hate how you winced
When I reached out and tried to hold you
The way that I always did
I looked into your eyes again
And begged for one last kiss
You told me it just hurts too much
I could tell our last one did
I knew it when you cried
Your cold lips pressed to mine
For the very last time
On that night, I realized
That I tried, but I failed, and then we died
(Chorus)
No matter how hard I try
I just can't seem to get you
Off my goddamn mind
You left your mark in my life
But since the moment that we met
You were never really mine
I stayed up and I cried
When I read the poem you wrote me
For the very last time
On that night I realized
That those feelings had died
The words racing through my mind
One year ago you stole my heart
June 15th was just the start
Now & forever, we'll never be apart
(And still now, you steal my heart)
One year ago you stole my heart
June 15th was just the start
Thats what you wrote before we fell apart
One year and 3 months ago, you stole my heart
Threw it away, ripped it apart
Now and forever, you'll always be a scar
(Always be a scar)
One year and 3 months ago, you stole my heart
Threw it away, ripped it apart
You said you'd never leave but now you are
(And now you-)
I know that we're not alright
And now I'll always spend
My whole life asking myself why
When all that I wanted was to try
But nothing could ever make this right
(Chorus)
It hurts bad enough to be lied to and treated
Like I am nothing, but for you to mean it
You stripped all that I had, then left me here bleeding
So much for always and forever; 15
You fucking broke me, then left me here bleeding
Gave up on me, but I'm still here screaming
So much for always and forever; 15 (2x)
