lyrics

I took a look inside a box of things
You're leaving behind
There's just a wish
That you could be a different boy

And I will tell you once again
I'll tell you till we're both dead
There's no glory in the chase
It's all in leaving a little space

Well I never thought that I would see you like this
With you hair so wet and you're eyes so closed

I've been looking for the easy way out
But it's hard to see it coming with your body in the way
So I stay

The lighting in my kitchen doesn't do justice to our faces
So it's hard to chart the course from here
But maybe it's better that way
It's always been too easy to forgive you when I'm looking at your face

Well I never thought that I would see you like this
With you hair so wet and you're eyes so closed

I've been looking for the easy way out
But it's hard to see it coming with your body in the way
So I stay

I am not the one you found, I'm the one who found you out
It's a promise that we made to never learn from our mistakes
I'm not looking, I'm not prideful, I'm not sorry and I'm not scared
Just ashamed that we both turned out to be the people that we are

I am not the one you found, I'm the one who found you out
It's a promise that we made to never learn from our mistakes
I'm not looking, I'm not prideful, I'm not sorry and I'm not scared
Just ashamed that we both turned out to be the people that we are
So far

Well I never thought that I would see you like this
