lyrics

If it had to happen though, at least now I know
But it don’t make me feel any better
I got in the car and I drove, nowhere to go
But I knew that I had to see you
And now that I did

I can’t eat, I can’t sleep
Maybe it’s not worth it
I can’t breathe
I can’t be your back-up option

So I walked to your door and there on your porch
I saw you with his arms wrapped around you
That look of surprise, your daggers for eyes
And I knew right then I had lost you
Now that I know…

All this ends right now
I can’t keep breaking down
There’s nothing left to hide
I’ve never been so alive as when I’m with you
and now it hurts, it hurts

Well the memories fade
More and more each day
But the hurt it just keeps on repeating
I’d follow you half-round the world, anywhere
But you knew some point I would be leaving
