I'm sitting on the road
Smoking these god damn cigarettes
Looking at the stars
And fucking screaming your name
Because it's the only thing left
That makes me feel alive
Though it still kills me to hear it everyday

Can we pretend
You're not breaking my heart
Can we pretend
You're not leaving for good
You said you'd always be here for me
But we both know
You were lying through your teeth

The week before
You told me you loved me
And you told me we weren't over
But now you won't even tell me
If you're doing okay

I called you up the other day
And you just ignored me
And now I’m choking at the thought
Of whose bed you’re in
And who’s got your time

And now I'm hung up
On this empty line
The silence muting my thoughts
This feeling in my gut
Says that I should stop
But I guess I just care too much
The river down the street
Offers a comforting embrace
With a promise to silence
Memories of us

To mend my heart
And lay it down
On the river floor
That I will soon make my new home
And if you find me
Don’t be sad
I just did what I felt was right
I’m sorry to leave you here all alone
But if you could leave me and still be okay

Why can’t I leave you and hope you’ll stay the same
