We were so happy
My tears are building like a tidal wave
You tried to smoke the pain away.
I'm haunted by the sudden flashbacks,
Hours spent laughing on that old couch.
Things seemed picture perfect,
But you were always so abstract.
We were so happy
Now I'm crying on the floor again
You go home, get high
And regret what you’re missing.
The minute I shot through your façade,
You ran away like a scared little boy
And threw our relationship down the drain.
We were so happy
You’re a broken spirit that couldn't be fixed
I can’t remember how to forget,
The smell of cigarettes is embedded in my brain.
I'm still waiting for our white flag to wave,
It’s always darkest before the dawn.
We were so happy
You call me and pour out your soul.
I try to calm you down,
But you’re too far off the edge.
You say you've never stopped caring,
I tell you the exact same thing,
But you say it’s too late.
We were so happy
I already know what’s coming.
That sick feeling creeps into my gut,
Before it even happens.
BANG BANG.
An eerie silence follows.
I'm left behind with a broken heart and the humming of the telephone line.
We were so happy
