LYRICS
VERSE
You left without a proper goodbye
So it hurt like hell when you caught your flight
For months and months I’ve seen it comin’
It still hurt like hell when you said nothin’
Friends for a while, connected for life
But you made your choice and threw your knife
It hit your target, stabbed me in herat
I watched my soul slowly depart
CHORUS
I stopped holding my breath
Finally accepted our death
I saw what we were through a new lens
Almost strangers, barely friends
When you held me, I wasn’t along
But now I seen just how you’ve grown
Should’ve known we couldn’t make amends
As almost strangers, barely friends
VERSE
Said I’d never leave you and I never did
Which is more than what you ever said
The last few years were writ with pain
No matter what you couldn’t explain
Loved you for a long time, loved you every night
Loved you no matter what and after every fight
As the weeks went on, my lungs filled with water
But my parents couldn’t lose their last daughter
CHORUS
I stopped holding my breath
Finally accepted our death
I saw what we were through a new lens
Almost strangers, barely friends
When you held me, I wasn’t along
But now I seen just how you’ve grown
Should’ve known we couldn’t make amends
As almost strangers, barely friends
BRIDGE
Don’t know what I was thinking
Tryin’ to save you from your ghosts
Don’t know what I was thinking
Only you can save you from yourself
I know what I was feeling
I let my ghosts possess me
I know what I was feeling
I couldn’t face reality
But I’ve been scared of drowning for so long
Couldn’t find a way to right what was wrong
Been falling apart limb by limb
I forgot I could learn how to swim
CHORUS
I stopped holding my breath
Finally accepted our death
I saw what we were through a new lens
Almost strangers, barely friends
When you held me, I wasn’t along
But now I seen just how you’ve grown
Should’ve known we couldn’t make amends
As almost strangers, barely friends
ENDING
You left without a proper goodbye
So it hurt like hell when you caught your flight
For months and months I’ve seen it comin’
It still hurts like hell when you said
Nothin’
