lyrics

i thought once i loved you with my whole heart
i remember you
in the dark on the bed with your hair messed up
smiling as i walked in the room

never wished for this, never wanted to
resist what made sense
in my defense i tried pretty hard, cried in the dark,
yelled in the stairwell

but i recall your eyes the times you didn't smile
recall your face the times you wouldn't kiss me
recall your hand when it pushed away
recall when i heard you didn't miss me

i ended it myself didn't i,
i started it myself didn't i
i twisted up myself didn't i
i still believe don't i

it wore on me to see you but not see you
a chore to pass you walking
and talk like neighbors, white picket fence in between us
my dog nibbling at your roses

and when you left it wasn't a problem any longer
i forgot it i acted
strong every time i heard your name, like it didn't inflame
my heart

but i'd recall your eyes the times you didn't smile
recall your face the times you wouldn't kiss me
recall your hand when it pushed away
recall when i heard you didn't miss me

but i ended it myself didn't i,
i started it myself didn't i
i twisted up myself didn't i
i still believe don't i

i've tried to remember what we fought about
i just can't remember why i yelled
all i can see is your face when you were silent
your back against the wall and no smile
