For the Best (You Didn't Need Me)

At 16 you tried not to cry
Your head laid in my chest
Afraid of losing time

At 16 said, "let's runaway"
Get out of this old town
And run for better days

At 16 we would always drive
Get lost on all those backroads
In the middle of the night

At 16 I fell in love
Maybe we were broken
But I couldn't get enough

Cause we could lay for hours, but you promised me forever
And every now and then I look back and I remember
How your eyes looked in all those colored lights
That we taped to my ceiling, and told our pretty lies

But we were just kids, got in way over our heads
The taste of your lips holding on to every breath
Too hard to hold on, but too scared of what's next
We might've burnt out, but maybe for the best

You didn't need me

At 19 we met in the summer
I had known you for years
But we finally met each other

At 19 got lost in your ocean
You said baby hold still
And just roll with the motion

At 19 you said it's cliche
Don't wanna take it slow
You feel right in all the wrong ways

At 19 I fell in love
Maybe we were broken
But I couldn't give it up

Cause we could lay for hours, but you promised me forever
And every now and then I look back and I remember
How your eyes looked in all those colored lights
Laid out under fireworks and telling pretty lies

But we were just kids, got in way over our heads
The taste of your lips holding on to every breath
Too hard to hold on, but too scared of what's next
We might've burnt out, but maybe for the best

You didn't need me
