I miss missing you
I miss having those carnivore moths pass through
Every time your dimmed blue eyes met mine
I miss missing you
And not feeling guilty about it
Because you said that you loved me
But you fucked around (you fucked it up)
And I bet you think I've written too many songs about you
And I wish I didn't have a reason to start
And I miss when I could write you those dumb little love songs
I was happy and miserable
It tore me apart
And I bet you think I've written too many songs about you
And I wish I didn't have a reason to start
And I miss when I could write you those dumb little love songs
I was happy and miserable
It tore me apart
It tore me apart
I missed missing you
But those carnivore moths don't want anything
To do with me anymore
I missed missing you
But now I know who you really are
Your laugh lines were cracks
And you fucked around (you fucked me up)
If there's one thing you've learned
I hope it's that you can't deal with everyone
The way you dealt with them
Through the one-sided shouting matches
The hazy birthday bashes
Not through your dimmed blue eyes yet
The wailing sirens and the awkward silences
The tense family nights
And you've learned to keep your personality divided
Like the city we fell in love in under divergent lights
You weren't always a coward
Or so afraid
They turned you into someone
Who only knows running away
Ten years on and you've still got the same mentality
And you think it's what you have to do
To keep things as they should be
But you ended up hurting me
And it got so bad that now
You've made me second guess everyone I know
Now every person's just another chance
To get worn out and "outgrown"
I wasn't always a coward
Or so afraid
You turned me into someone
Who only knows running away
And everyone I love
I see you in them
And it's pretty ironic
I never wanted to see you again
And I'm so lucky that I had
The people who could prove to me
That I was wrong
And it broke the cycle of distrust
That your parents left in you
And that you left in me
And I'm so lucky that I had
The people who could prove to me
That there was more to life than lies
And vacant careless courtesy
And pulled me out of the lowest point of my whole life
I wasn't always a coward
Or so afraid
You turned me into someone
Who only knows running away
But it won't last forever
The scars show now and then
But I hope that you'll be better
If I ever see you again
