Here Lies What Could've Been
I liked the night sky from your dad's front porch
You knew things like how some lights had already burst
You had an interest in astronomy I was fascinated by dead things
Maybe that's why we liked looking at stars and thinking about us
Said goodbye, flat-lined in my childhood bedroom
We sure as hell tried but we couldn't survive you
Wondered if the part of you that loved me just wasn't heard
Every time we have a talk and end up just making it worse
What a stupid and useless way to go
When we could've been something we could've you know
But we're in your bed and on the floor and then you call me a friend
Oh I saw the way you pulled away when you were scared of the feeling
So I finally caved and I put it to rest
Oh look at us now here lies what could've been
And I liked the way it sounded when you said my name
And I liked the way it felt to think we'd stay the same
But somewhere along the lines I got the feeling you decided
It was easier to kill it than to just be fucking honest
Wondered if the part of you that loved me just wasn't heard
Every time we have a talk and end up just making it worse
What a stupid and useless way to go
When we could've been something we could've you know
But we're in your bed and on the floor and then you call me a friend
Oh I saw the way you pulled away when you were scared of the feeling
So I finally caved and I put it to rest
Oh look at us now here lies what could've been
Look at how you're standing up so straight
How you're always gonna be okay
Look at how you get to look the part
How you never let it go too far
And you stayed when everything was good
Then you left like you always could
Leave me for dead like it's not that hard
Keep your head and cut out your heart
Wondered if the part of you that loved me just wasn't heard
Every time we have a talk and end up just making it worse
What a stupid and useless way to go
When we could've been something we could've you know
But we're in your bed and on the floor and then you call me a friend
Oh I saw the way you pulled away when you were scared of the feeling
So I finally caved and I put it to rest
Oh look at us now here lies what could've been
You knew things like how some lights had already burst
You had an interest in astronomy I was fascinated by dead things
Maybe that's why we liked looking at stars and thinking about us
Said goodbye, flat-lined in my childhood bedroom
We sure as hell tried but we couldn't survive you
Wondered if the part of you that loved me just wasn't heard
Every time we have a talk and end up just making it worse
What a stupid and useless way to go
When we could've been something we could've you know
But we're in your bed and on the floor and then you call me a friend
Oh I saw the way you pulled away when you were scared of the feeling
So I finally caved and I put it to rest
Oh look at us now here lies what could've been
And I liked the way it sounded when you said my name
And I liked the way it felt to think we'd stay the same
But somewhere along the lines I got the feeling you decided

Wondered if the part of you that loved me just wasn't heard
Every time we have a talk and end up just making it worse
What a stupid and useless way to go
When we could've been something we could've you know
But we're in your bed and on the floor and then you call me a friend
Oh I saw the way you pulled away when you were scared of the feeling

But we're in your bed and on the floor and then you call me a friend
Oh I saw the way you pulled away when you were scared of the feeling
So I finally caved and I put it to rest
Oh look at us now here lies what could've been
