lyrics

VERSE:
And its another quite drive on the way home
I made you cry, didn't mean to lie i just feel stuck
so many times I look at the door and think to run
I'd be doing you a favor im not worth anything much
The world will keep spinning if I don't keep close in touch

CHORUS:
Oh I think this is farewell
I hope you couldn't tell
but things just aren't the way they used to be
I knew you knew by the way you looked at me
that this was the last time i'de be seeing you my friend
and this is the last time I'll see you

VERSE 2:
And we're running through fields that were once brightened by our love
now a torn down landscape shot down by our words
You sit crying because you know its time to leave
but i cant help you anymore than you could ever help me
Im just a lonely keeper to maintain these empty fields

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
It aint much fun getting this much older
I remember being younger and wishing I'de wake up once day be on my own
but im scared
with a girl faking a smile
with sadness that drags on for miles
how did life get this real
how did life get this real

And we're running through fields that were once brightened by our love
now a torn down landscape shot down by our words

CHROUS
