lyrics

Oh, If I hadn't thought to bring my heart to you
Gray skies could share with blue
What's lost cannot be found

In the same book, we're stuck on different pages
I've been reading it for ages
I think I'll put it down

And though it hurts to close my eyes
This selfish sacrifice
Heals me slowly

And though it hurts to fantasize
What we could have made of our lives
Had we only...

What could I be? Other than lonely,
With you? Only with you.

I wish I'd known a better way to make mistakes
Because the path that pushed me to you, left me broken and afraid
I never should have second guessed how literal, this fatal flaw

I've grown to always view myself as second-best
But half-step above the rest
Self-defeating egotist

Makes it hard to believe there's something better
That won't leave me playing debtor
Trembling below the wrist

And though it hurts to close my eyes
This selfish sacrifice
Heals me slowly

And though it hurts to fantasize
What we could have made of our lives
Had we only...

What could I be? Other than lonely,
With you? Only with you.

I wish I'd known a better way to make mistakes
Because the path that pushed me to you, left me broken and afraid
I never should have second guessed how literal, this fatal flaw
