Trying to act like I didn't hear
It's always better than the first time
When you finally get it for the first time
Forgettable memories at the top of your list
She's trying to act like she didn't hear
Waking up is just the worst time
To look at each other in the worst light
Bathing in memories that were better than this
Couldn't hide the fact that on the face of it
That face was telling me nothing
I wasn't always such a shut-in
Cross out the name thats on the top of your list
Couldn't face the sound of my cell phone
Ringing but telling me nothing
Trying to talk but thoughts cut in
Forcing me to picture endings that are better than this
Light glanced off the cold
Can’t remember what I’m striving for
They told me to stay on the road
And that there’s nothing better
That’s so overblown
I know what’s worth surviving for
Written in a simple code
I know there’s something better
Let down by the war
Thought it would be more
Knowing it’s not gold
And that there’s nothing better
