lyrics

Everything you never say to me
haunts my heart like a catastrophe
version of you I'll never get to see
am I falling for a dream
where you don't keep me in your back pocket
or switch out the picture in your heart-shaped locket
for making wishes that you won't regret
as I sleep into a dream
of a future where I don't belong
of a song that you wrote me
where the ending does not come out wrong

I pour one out for all the failed tries
the looks that changed in all the broken lovers' eyes
the greener pastures and the bluer skies
I walk through in the dream
of a future where I hold your heart
that's the hardest part
I never get to know you
it ends before it ever even starts
