I saw you open the door
To a house that wasn’t yours.
Oh you forgot your cigarettes
Of course you did they're on his bedroom floor.
Oh, you know why.
Well did you know you didn’t call back but texted I should
Go to bed without you, could I
Question what it was that kept you away (am I too late)
But everybody tried to tell me she was always lying and I'd see
She doesn’t really wanna lie awake beside me
Just in front.
How did I know, that you’d go
You left me broken, all alone
But I could never tell who you were
Behind all the silence, say, well did you love me too .
You’re running away.
Well you know I was every bit as tired as you
Eyes with bags too dark to see through
Only sleep I got was Citizen on repeat
But you were every bit as me, every bit of you
I can tell we're done, I can see it through
I don’t need to think back to
When we were younger.
You left me alone,
you left me alone
How did I know, that you’d go
You left me broken, all alone
But I could never tell who you were
Behind all the silence, say, well did you love me too .
I'm running away.
I won’t ever be the one
And I don’t think that’s fair
I tell myself that you're in love
But I’m painfully aware
I could tell you it's just lust
I see red either way
it doesn’t change where I'll end up
I hope that's ok
Though I saw you leave,
You always wanna stay
The roses on your leave
I hope you don't retreat the pain
For all the times we'd run
For every single day
We spent together
Least I know you won’t forget my name.
In all of this, I'll leave your keys on his welcome mat.
