Tell me, have you found someone new?

Does she make it easier

to block me out of your mind?

You see, I’ve never been that ignorant

To act like what we had didn’t matter


I remember what it sounds like

The noise of people falling out of love

It’s the arguments that last until 3 A.M.

It’s the angry silent car rides, so quiet we can hear the engine buzzing

It’s the tremor in your voice when you apologize so profusely

It’s the slamming of the door when you left


But there were good times, too

That’s an undeniable fact

Like when we’d walk around aimlessly

With no destination, we’d just talk and laugh

We made the world ours to explore

Together, we discovered ourselves

I know, I know

This nostalgia makes it harder to move on


But really, do you ever reminisce about the love that has passed?

Maybe you’d like to only recall the bad memories;

The times that left a scar on your heart

So that you can convince yourself there’s nothing worth missing

I’m sure that makes it easier to forget.


We’re just two people whose souls once combined

Now they have gone their separate ways

But with mine, is a piece of yours

And I hope that mine left a mark on yours, too


Maybe somewhere

They’re still running around together, chasing each other

Trying to intertwine once again.
