Endless nights, a shot
across the bows
You take the high
road once again
And I'll take the lows
I see the sadness in your eyes now
And it's difficult to swallow (It's difficult to swallow, to swallow)
Packed your bags, got out before the slope
Asked you to stay for one more night
But that just rock the boat
I know I should've done the math,
but it's still hard to let you go
Well, I know I'm not the only one
To fall for all the lies
That we were living
in a house of cards
So, I can't be
surprised when I'm
Waking up in a sea of sadness
And I know we'll make it a force of habit
Maybe, in a year or so,
I'll be able just to laugh at it
But, for now, I spend my nights
wishing we could just go back to it
Better half, that's what
I thought you were
Path of glory, same old story
"Time's a thief", I've heard
You can hold the smoking gun
but I'll still shoot the messenger (Messenger)
Sea of sorrows, you wiped it off my cheek
See you tomorrow, that's
time borrowed for another week
I can't stand beside you now
if you don't really want me
Well, I know I'm not the only one
To fall for all the lies
That we were living in a house of cards
So, I can't be surprised when I'm
Waking up in a sea of sadness
And I know we'll make it a force of habit
Maybe, in a year or so,
I'll be able just to laugh at it
But, for now, I spend my nights
wishing we could just go back to it
I'll remember we were once in love
Remember we were once in love
I hope that, when you think of us
You'll remember it the way it was
And I hope that, when you're missing me
You're missing what we used to be
I hope that, when you're falling down
You'll remember how I stuck around
And I hope that, when you look me up
You'll remember we were once in love
[Post-Chorus]
(We were once in love)
You'll remember we were once in love
(We were once in love)
Remember we were once in love
Waking up in a sea of sadness
And I know we'll make it a force of habit
Maybe, in a year or so,
I'll be able just to laugh at it
But, for now, I spend my nights
wishing we could just go back to it
