Isn’t it haunting how neither of us cry?

It feels as though it just slipped out of reach, when we were happy under one thousand dancing stars

Life was all cheap drinks, slow nights and fast cars

The future and the universe were all ours

Was it real then, or were we just dumb?

Because now, you don’t like that I’m here, I don’t like that I’m under your thumb

Now, you don’t like that I don’t care and I don’t like that I’m numb

I’ve been over holding you, you’ve been over holding me

So close your eyes, take a breath, we’ll let go on three

Why would we stay in each other’s chains when we just want to be free?

So watch the stars fall out of the sky

Let go, I’ll fade away, in silence, let us die

We blink, but isn’t it haunting how neither of us cry?

I wish you well, but why would we settle for everything less than ideal?

We need to part if we want to grow and want to feel

Like we’re made of anything softer than steel

We need to drift away towards the sun, shadows casted on each other have made us cold as stone

And if all we know comes next is that we are alone, 

Isn’t it better to be sure than to be together feeling like it’s an unknown?
