Nights

I've been watching the days slipping away
I've been watching the stars taking the sun's place

'Cause I had thought from the early beginning
That we were something like one in a million
But then the stars and my heart had to tell me
That I'm not the type that would be so lucky

When I'm the kind of girl that feels so little
And I just can't fall at the pace that you do
And it's just not fair to you at all either
I wish your head would just tell you to leave her

'Cause I'm not getting it babe
And now I'm slipping away
Sun sets and it's raising the stakes
Stars are coming awake
I try to picture your face
But I feel nothing that makes me wanna stay

I've been watching the nights swallow the light
I'm not gonna pretend that this is something that feels right

'Cause as the times pass my feelings fade with it
But I'm not ready to watch from a distance
'Cause I don't wanna hurt you like the others
And just become strangers to one another

These days I'm up late in the night just thinking
Remember when that was us in the AM speaking
I wanted nothing more than just to see you
But now I'm thinking of ways to leave you

'Cause I'm not getting it babe
And now I'm slipping away
Sun sets and it's raising the stakes
Stars are coming awake
I try to picture your face
But I feel nothing that makes me wanna stay

I think back to the nights
You made me feel alive
Felt so right watching you when you drive
When you wanted to try
I wanted you to be mine
Tell me when all of those feelings died

And I've got all these expectations
But we haven't met a single one
And I've got all these expectations of what I wanted from our love

Cause I'm not getting it babe
And now I'm slipping away
Sun sets and it's raising the stakes
Stars are coming awake
I try to picture your face
But I feel nothing that makes me wanna stay

I think back to the nights
You made me feel alive
Felt so right watching you when you drive
When you wanted to try
I wanted you to be mine
Tell me when all of those feelings died
