A Song About Drifting

Straight out of a dream
What did we do
Promises and oaths I don't recall
They fade along with all
I know you're a memory
You slip away
Say I don't miss you til I can't get up from the lie
If I forget you won't forgive you til the day I die

But you'd never see me cry
Make up an alibi
Build it up til it falls apart
I pick and choose the lies I tell myself to feel alright
Moving on til the wound's rubbed raw

And it won't come through
When I think of you
And you're just a face in the crowd

I lay down in ruin
When I need you
Fantasies of falling off the earth
Held up by fears no one would notice
You'd ask, I'd console you
Now I'm crumbling down
Of course you didn't need to make me whole
But it only made things worse when you had left me alone

But you'd never see me cry
Make up an alibi
Build it up til it falls apart
I pick and choose the lies I tell myself to feel alright
Moving on til the wound's rubbed raw

And it won't come through
When I think of you
And you're just a face in the crowd
And it won't come through
Even though it's you
Cause you're just a face in the crowd
