This is a story of burning bridges andAllowing time to passThis is a story of forgiveness andBreaking things in my handsThis is a story of understandingCan't choose who you loveThis is a story of soft skinAnd I can't choose who you loveAnd that's in the wallsAnd you can't just pass alongThe pain that comes aroundYou'll go dizzy until you fallAnd I know you didn't mean to let me downBut you let me down so hardThis is a story of loaded glancesAnd leaning in too farThis is a story of big advancesAnd confessions and smoky barsSo now I'm waiting for you to come backI'm walking down the sidewalkAnd I am singing to myselfAnd I'm gonna leave it all behind me nowCause I don't need thisI just don't need thisAnd you can't just pass alongThe pain that comes aroundYou'll go dizzy until you fallAnd I know you didn't mean to let me downI know you didn't mean to let me downYou can't just pass alongBut you let me down so hardCause I don't need thisAnd these memories of talking and talkingAnd all of anything and somethingGot the pillow over my headBut they won't stop me from cryingNo, no, no, they won't stopSome fantasiesNever meant to beRealized at allAnd some regretsCould be prevented if youBreathe them right in on the wallOh, and sometimes you say you know nothing can happenAnd then she leans over and lifts off your glassesAnd next thing you knowYou're deadAnd then she leans over and lifts off your glassesAnd then she leans over and lifts off your glassesAnd then she leans over and lifts off your glassesAnd then I hear the rats in the wall
