not them

Do you still think about it?
Didn't understand, but baby, we had it
Lost in all the nonsense, missed all the magic
Sitting at a red light, you always come to my mind

I lost you faster than the light could change
I swear I'd turn around, but life's one way

Wish I could hold your hand a little tighter
Take it all a little lighter
But it's too late for what we could have been

And I hate that I was such a fighter
Wish I was a little nicer
But words don't make a difference in the end

'Cause now we're not them
'Cause now we're not them

Now I hate this apartment
I can't get the tear stains out from the carpet
I really wanna leave, but I can't afford it
Thought we had a lifetime, but we never got the punchline

I lost you faster than the light could change
I swear I'd turn around, but life's one way

Wish I could hold your hand a little tighter (tighter)
Take it all a little lighter (whoa)
But it's too late for what we could have been

And I hate that I was such a fighter
Wish I was a little nicer
But words don't make a difference in the end

'Cause now we're not them
Wish I could go back then
'Cause now we're not them
Wish I could go back then

Wish I could hold your hand a little tighter (tighter)
Take it all a little lighter (whoa)
But it's too late for what we could have been

And I hate that I was such a fighter (fighter)
Wish I was a little nicer (nicer)
But words don't make a difference in the end

'Cause now we're not them
