Lyrics
I held on to the anger long enough
I clung to my anger for a significant period.
I ran out of the strings I'd pulled for us
I exhausted the efforts or strategies I had employed for our relationship.
And maybe there's a chance that you'll come back
There's a possibility of your return, but I won't overly expect it.
But I won't hold my breath or count on that
I won't keep my hopes up or rely on that happening.
I let myself feel sorry until now
I allowed myself to feel sorry until now.
I ran out of the I'll never know hows
I ran out of ways to express the uncertainties of never knowing.
That you could ever leave me here alone
You left me alone, and I'm surprised by that.
But maybe that's something I should've known
Perhaps it's something I should have anticipated.
What's the point of holding it inside
What's the use of keeping emotions inside?
At least then we can say you know we tried
At least if we express ourselves, we can say we made an effort.
And I'm not even bitter anymore
I'm no longer resentful.
If growing up was all you'd need me for
If being grown up was the only reason you needed me, so be it.
Then I'll keep singing the songs we used to sing
I will continue singing the songs that were meaningful to us.
Drive away in the night remembering
Depart in the night recalling our shared memories.
The way that you used to love me
Recalling the way you used to love me.
Now I don't know what you think of me
I'm uncertain about your current opinion of me.
And I don't know how we ever got this far
I don't understand how we reached this point.
The words that you never said drove us apart
Unspoken words caused a rift between us.
But I won't hold it against you
I won't hold your unspoken words against you.
And I'm not good enough to pretend to
I'm not skilled enough to pretend otherwise.
I held on to the words you used to say
I clung to the words you once said.
Like one day we'll be neighbors in two houses on a lake
Imagining a future where we are neighbors with houses on a lake.
And I still think about it now and then
I still reminisce about it from time to time.
Relive all our childhood dreams again
Revisiting the dreams we had in our childhood.
I never meant to ever hold you back
I never intended to hinder your progress.
I wanted all the best for you and I thought you knew that
I wished only the best for you, assuming you knew that.
One day you were half of me
Once you were an integral part of me.
The next off by a third degree
Later, the connection was weakened significantly.
Until I lost the sight of who we'd be
Until I lost sight of our envisioned future.
But I'll keep singing the songs we used to sing
Despite everything, I will continue singing our shared songs.
Drive away in the night remembering
Driving away in the night, reminiscing about our past.
The way that you used to love me
Remembering the way you used to love me.
Now I don't know what you think of me
My current standing in your eyes is unclear.
And I don't know how we ever got this far
I'm uncertain about how we reached this distant point.
The words that you never said drove us apart
Unspoken words played a role in our separation.
But I won't hold it against you
I won't harbor resentment against you for those unspoken words.
And I'm not good enough to pretend to
I lack the ability to pretend otherwise.
