“hey, how have you been” is what you said
it was raining on a Tuesday, my feet were wet
caught off guard my words they stumbled, i wont forget
I saw a ghost from a time that I’ll always, regret.
I see the things we used to do, when will I ever learn the truth
Its all controversy, i don’t expect you to
remember all the nights you fought with me,
with all of your hypocrisy
Im taking back all the time you stole from me
(2X)
we’ve made mistakes, I’m only human, you ramble on
I’ve heard it all before, Its like a radio marathon
I told myself i wouldn’t do this all again.
Now you want to come back, Don’t fucking come back
Its been silent in my head for the first time in weeks
and i never thought id say this, but i can finally, sleep
I’ve learned how to find my way without you
hey how have you been is what she said
i’m better off without you
you left me stranded here
facing my self in the mirror
a ship at sail i can’t steer
Blue sea takes me
I’m sorry dear
I'm growing up
just like you always told me too
“you’ll never make it
with that kind of attitude”
I was in too deep
I learned a lot
while the soil covered me
I was your marionette
strings attached
your grip was like cement
but then the tension snapped
free at last, why would I go back
why should i go back
I cant (I cant) I cant go back
I see the things we used to do, will I ever learn the truth
It's all controversy, i don’t expect you to
remember all the nights you fought with me,
with all of your hypocrisy
I'm taking back all the time you stole from me
