We found out the hard way
Perfection never lasts
The universe don't want things to be so good
We braided ropes together
And tied 'em round our necks
And every mile takes away each breath
I walk back through this hallway
With you still in my mind
With every step I feel farther from home
Bodies flood this city
So someone tell me why
This is the first time I've ever felt so alone
And I remember last fall
When we looked up at the shooting stars on the porch
'Til it was too cold to stay outside
Now the seasons never change
And the night just ain't the same since the lights of the city
Drown out the sky
And why
Oh why
Isn't it easier at all
After each time we say goodbye
If I could wake up in the morning light
And you were my first sight
I'd be alright
We found out the hard way
Love won't go through a screen
A machine doesn't speak the language of a touch
Now saltwater tears the makeup
From underneath your eyes
And scars both of our cheeks as it dries
And you told me yesterday
You wanted us to run away and I don't know now
If it was a joke or not
But as the threads we intertwined
Fray and fall apart with time
I'd like to think it's more than just
A pa**ing thought
