It's all my fault because it will never be the same

I took everything we had for granted, I'm the only one to blame

You were the only one who really knew me at all

How can you be so happy when I'm on the verge of such a terrible fall

This did you for the better, but me for the worse

Now a burden of jealousy, such a curse

Why did I think this was the right thing to do, when the only right thing about this was you

I miss the way you tuned towards me to watch me as I do nothing

I miss the way you pushed my hair back only to get a better look at my face

I loved how my voice was your favorite song, but now we both forgot the lyrics and can't sing along

The thought of you never left my mind

Can't be replaced you're different, special, one of a kind

You accepted each and every one of my flaws

Oh how I wish I could go back, rewind, then pause

If you told me how to fix everything I would do it

Your denial of friendship, my heart never took such a hit

I always see you talking to her, you look so happy

The only problem is that it's suppose to be me

You look at her just like you looked at me

She doesn't make you feel the same way I know you know that too

I bet she doesn't know your favorite songs or books

I bet you don't stare at her until she looks

Everytime I look at you it hurts because we aren't the same people I love and know

You told strangers about me, like I was something worthy

You wrote me letters and loved the way I wore my hair up

I was the only art that mattered to you

I don't know what else to do but write because I can't find the courage to tell you this to your face without wanting to cry

So if you're reading this, I miss you, life isn't the same without you as my best friend, and I love you, always
