Friend of a friend, high-school roll call Pure nirvana, young love had no faults Snow (Ooo) Falls (Ooo) Glistening Introduced to you in the evening Planned it all out day by day Snapshots of moments had changed my ways Time blinded by our adolescence We're restless instrumentalists Cruisin' all alone No ride or die, I was doing fine Took me by surprise, when I saw your eyes (Your eyes) Sunshine beamin' through the empty sky (Through the empty sky) You said "Hi nice to meet you, how you doin' today?" And I said "Doin' great, don't mean to be in your way" Maybe I should ask her out, there's no one else by my side Who knows how well it'll go, won't know if I never try Our laughter cut through the moonlight Strangers feelin' so right I was looking for love in an empty place Out of a shadow, I saw your face Didn't have to fake who I was I was wild and you didn't make a fuss Only knew you for a second Time multiplies in the space you found me in If you hand me a shovel, I'd dig the grave Bury the secrets we'd share and take And you said "21st Century Bonnie and Clyde" And I said "I just want a happy ending where one dies" If the closet skeletons come alive No regrets and we can't say we never tried You know Sometimes you need to take a closer look at everything Those other times The message is right there Is this a love letter or a goodbye? Coulda, shoulda, woulda is stuck in my mind I'm feeling conflicted Restricted I'm a victim of love You were the angel but the Devil sent the dove My heart was racin', a different kind of pacin' You clipped the butterfly wings The songbird's been caged, been quiet all-day You don't know the trouble I'm facin' It's now eighteen months in (Eighteen Months in) A self-made ultimatum I was in (Ultimatum I was in) Am I about to shatter our future, the one that we've crafted? But I need the freedom from the things that have happened You said "We can make this work, this can't be it" And I said "Delusion doesn't excuse your fits" Findin' truth in these lies to find that you've crossed a line I'm feelin' in the end that we should've never tried Bring me back to teenage bliss Where nothing really mattered except lies and our first kiss The mind is a powerful thing I convinced myself you were the one for me Opposites don't attract In my head, I want you back I shoved the barrel of the gun in my open wound To stop the bleeding of the bullet that you chose to shoot Let me ask you somethin' now: If you drain my heart, how will I love you? You said "No more second chances, the clock has run out" And I said "Someday, one day, another cliche" These tears that I cry Could we go back in time? Won't know if we never try You know It might not be the easiest to move on But that's the adult thing to do Sometimes you just need closure Dear Brittany, It's May 28th, 11:37 PM and My mind is racin', I don't know where to begin Feelin' all this rage from videos that I'm seein' You take my breath away? I didn't hold it from the beginnin' And to be honest, it was great at the start Inseparable, that's true Practically lived with each other until about June Of 2019, that's when it took a turn for the worst The months leading up had never been better, trust me Don't think it was exactly easy for me to pick and just leave Cause I'll admit, I cried, it was hard for me too I had to put on a mask in order to get me through When it happened, I wanted to make amends You didn't want me to leave, you wanted to stay friends But I couldn't take text after text sayin' that I should get back with my ex It was causing me stress (It was causing me stress) Cause I put in the effort, it was me, not you Don't wanna exaggerate, it felt like a classic case Of reasonable versus a psychotic basket case And we split, I said I needed to figure some things out Cause I was mentally torn, worn down by your toxicness that this brings out (This brings out) And now lookin' back, I was foreshadowed by "Jazz" Track three, Mercury, reenactin' "Jealousy" Nice try in stoppin' me But I knew when it was time for me to pack it all up to leave man And I was out Just like that, I was gone It was a slow burn But I felt it was the best choice for me I had to put myself first in this position And then I go online and she's makin' up these lies Just imagine starin' at your phone and then you see How nowadays you sit online and play the victim position Unfortunate, cause it was actually flipped You played the heartbreak card, said you'd never recover The reality's you found another in a couple of minutes So here it is, here's your song You wanted this for a long time But I just find the right words For the wrong lines And after a while, I never really felt connected or accepted A frostbitten heart you gave me, made me feel neglected I said "I don't know how much longer that I could go" And you said, "My bar for men now is so, so low!" Yet I don't mean to tease, that's just the pettiness in me Now that's a two-way street, I see the words that you bring (Words that you bring) It's feelin' kinda hypocritical how each other acts Coupled individuals who stab the other's back And it's a matter of fact, I won't return to you now I gotta look for the thing that Lesley Duncan lays down A love song that's for anyone, but inspired by our times Of she who said I was her Jim but I only cut ties Back then it was a pair that's best A young trumpeteer and a clarinet Gettin' crocodile tears when you claimed that you loved me But what we had couldn't grow if you were never trusting We had some great times Brito, I'm not gonna lie But I think we'd be better off now if we never tried
