lyrics

You came into my life abruptly one winter
We had already been friends but you were planning something bigger
Started saying that you loved me and I'm such a sucker for you
That I knew it wasn't real but I used it as a substitute
I needed the distraction was wrapped up in my past and
When you had came along that's exactly what had happened
My friends told me about your flaws but I chose not to see 'em
And all the things you said well I started to believe 'em
Even though I knew better but how could you blame me
See I knew that they were lies but they were comforting, strangely
You told me that you missed me, I knew that you don't
And then you told me that you'd see but I knew that you won't
You don't miss me I just remind you of home
You miss your friends and your family but apparently I'm none of those
So fuck what you told me, you swore that you'd always know me
But the sun shed some light on things that you'd never show me

You came down with the snow and I should have known
That as quickly as you came would be as quickly as you'd go
You left and impact, there's no denying that
But I've come too far for me to ever turn back
I followed every foot print in the snow but could this
All lead up to nothing, have I wasted my time since
All I have is wonder
And nothing left to follow now that it's the summer

The problem is when you're drunk I'm a great idea
But then when you don't send a message, well the message is clear
Yeah, at least it should be. I know how it seems
Because enough is enough but I won't admit defeat
If I don't get to you what does that say about me?
I never thought that my persistence would be what made me weak
But then it made me lose sleep, trying to follow your footsteps
Now they're all gone and I've got nothing left
Cause they gave me direction, the compass that I had
But it was leading me to something that I could never have
The illusion never went away, you're my mirage
You're my addiction, my muse, my fucking sabotage
And now the weather's getting warmer and the days are getting longer
And I'm still holding onto you like some type of fucking horder
It'll never work out, the taste you left in my mouth
Is no longer enough reason for me to travel now

You came down with the snow and I should have known
That as quickly as you came would be as quickly as you'd go
You left and impact, there's no denying that
But I've come too far for me to ever turn back
I followed every foot print in the snow but could this
All lead up to nothing, have I wasted my time since
All I have is wonder
And nothing left to follow now that it's the summer
