I hope we can get back the time that we spent
And i wish we could go back to 2010
When it was alright and i had all my friends
Don't know what you have until all of it ends

So i'm dancing while the rain pours
Don't know who im lying for
Circling the sudden change

Laughing through the constant pain
I'm hanging on by the skin on my teeth
And i can tell you're aching with
The burns on your knees
You tell me everything is fine but it's not
And ever since we fucking started
We've been tangled in knots
It turned out so bad not
How i would've thought
And now you're seeing all my
Fallacies i wish you forgot

I wanna take back all the
Love it was hopеless
But either way i lovе you regardless
And you were like the one
Place that i could reside
And everytime that we're together
I always contrive
And i don't wanna cry tonight but i need you
And im just tryna find the
Light but you're see through
My skin is all covered in
Shards full of glass
I rot in my room wait for hours to pass

You had me at a glance
We turned all the pages, our story it ends
And now we're just caught in a dead romance
A simple dalliance
I knew that we were fucked up before we began

I hope we can get back the time that we spent
And i wish we could go back to 2010
When it was alright and i had all my friends
Don't know what you have until all of it ends

So i'm dancing while the rain pours
Don't know who im lying for
Circling the sudden change
Laughing through the constant pain
I'm hanging on by the skin on my teeth
And i can tell you're aching with
The burns on your knees
You tell me everything is fine but it's not
And ever since we fucking started
We've been tangled in knots
It turned out so bad not
How i would've thought

And now you're seeing all my
Fallacies i wish you forgot

Together, we progressed through the chapters of our relationship, but now it is over

And now we're just caught in a dead romance
We find ourselves trapped in a lifeless and unfulfilling love affair

A simple dalliance
What we once had was merely a brief and casual affair

I knew that we were fucked up before we began
I was aware of our dysfunctional nature even before we embarked on this journey
