This hit me from left field these feelings that you had concealed
A sense of emptiness that you revealed leaving silence over the phone line
There were some things I just couldn't say
I thought about you every f**ing day
Watching miles slowly cause decay while the weeks and months tear you away
Well I guess it's just a missed sense of confidence
Don't worry because I'll be fine
You've got your city lights and I've got the shoreline
You will always be branded in me
A memory I'll try to keep out of my head
A reoccurring dream I can't forget so I'll just sleep in instead
I'm leaving open seats to the New York City streets
I always figured they be just a little too crowded for me
But I swear there was weight in the words you said
Enough to knock me off my feet and straight into your bed
These bad dreams relapse two separate marks on the same map
I keep chasing these times I know I can't get back
Well I guess it's just a missed sense of confidence
Don't worry because I'll be fine
You've got your city lights and I've got the shoreline
You will always be branded in me
A memory I'll try to keep out of my head
A reoccurring dream I can't forget so I'll just sleep in instead
I'm leaving open seats to the New York City streets
I always figured they be just a little too crowded for me
It's just another cla**ic case of the right person at the wrong time
You left me with a wreck inside my head, bloody knuckles and a note that read
“You should have loved someone else instead”
I should've loved someone else instead
And I know this could never work so I'll play it out in my head instead
From the moment that we met to those three words that you never said
You are the life support that time cut short
The skip in my heartbeat. I'm dragging my feet
You are the lock on my gate keeping me from moving on
You left me with a wreck inside my head
