Now that it's all said and done I can't believe you were the one to build me up then tear me down like an old abandoned house. And what you said when you left, just left me cold and out of breath. I fell too far, was in way too deep. Guess I let you get the best of me. Well, I never saw it coming. I should've started running a long, long time ago. And I never thought to doubt you. I'm better off without you. More than you, more than you know. I'm slowly getting closure. I guess it's really over. I'm finally getting better. And now I'm picking up the pieces. And spending all of these years putting my heart back together. 'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through, I got over you.

Time can heal, but the scars only hide the way you feel. And it's hard to forget how I left you hanging on by a thread, with everything I said, I regret it, yeah. Well, I was doing alright, thought I could make it then I see your face and it's hard to fake it. Just like that, I'm crawling back to you. Just like you said I would, yeah. I swallowed my pride, now I'm crawling back to you. Yeah, I'm out of my head, can't wait any longer. Down on my knees, I thought I was stronger. Just like that, like you said I'd do. Yeah, I'm crawling back to you.

It's reached a fever pitch. I'm living proof of it. I find it hard to cope, without a thread of hope. Blood is thicker than water. But love is even stronger. Hold out a little longer until we found ourselves again, again. It's creeping up on me. Making it harder to breathe. We're all under pressure. Can't stand the weather. For the worst and not for the better. Please, this ain't the way to live. Something's got to give. We forgive but don't forget it, no. Another day, another battle. We all have a cage to rattle. This just might be the death of me. Might be the death of me. Another day, another battle. We all have a cage to rattle. This just might be the death of me. Might be the death of me.

There's no need for signs when your crying eyes said a million words tonight, a million words tonight. And I'd rather die than see you do time for the wrongs that you can't make right. You're not crazy for leaving, just crazy for staying so long. I'm amazed you're still breathing. Amazed you can feel at all for all the pain I've caused ya. I'm the one crazy after all.

Last time we talked, the night that I walked burns like an iron in the back of my mind. I must've been high to say you and I weren't meant to be and just wasting my time. Oh, why did I ever doubt you? You know I would die here without you. All that I'm after is a life full of laughter, as long as I'm laughing with you. I'm thinking that all that still matters is love ever after, after the life we've been through. 'Cause I know there's no life after you.

Would you have been president or a painter, an author, or sing like your mother? One thing is evident, would've given all I had. Would've loved you like no other. Who would you be? What would you look like? Would you have my smile and her eyes? Today could've been the next day of the rest of your life. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose such a ray of light we never knew. Gone too soon, yeah.

With your imagination and emotions running wild, fueling my frustration like a fire burning, clock keeps turning. I know it's getting underneath your skin. I've tried to tell you now. Don't look over your shoulder 'cause that's just the ghost of me you're seeing in your dreams. Wait, there's no rhyme or reason. Sometimes there's no meaning in the visions when you're sleeping. Don't wake up and believe them. You're looking at the ghost of me. Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me. Yeah, you're looking at the ghost of me.

Now it all seems so clear, there's nothing left to fear. So we made our way by finding what was real. Now the days are so long that summer's moving on. We reach for something that's already gone, yeah. Of all the things I still remember, summer's never looked the same. The years go by and time just seems to fly, but the memories remain. In the middle of September, we'd still play out in the rain. Nothing to lose, but everything to gain. Reflecting now on how things could've been. It was worth it in the end.
