Backwards

Left your car upon the driveway

Post the keys

Having trouble with the memories

Or were they just dreams

I tried so hard to change for you

So naive

But now you treat me like a stranger

You talk like I'm a danger

And I don't want to have to justify the truth

So many times I saw the best in you

For every night I tried to talk things through

But there's nothing I can say

I have to walk away

I had a hard time trying to forget you

I spent a long time stepping away

And since the last time I wish I was stronger

But hearts get broken

And it's not toxic, just the end

The end of us

And now I'm walking down the parkway

Between the graves

I used to think of this as our place

But it's not the same

You said we fell in love backwards

Just a different times

But now you treat me like a traitor

Like I'm the perfect crime

And I don't want to have to justify the truth

So many times I saw the best in you

For every night I tried to talk things through

But there's nothing I can say

I have to walk away

I had a hard time trying to forget you

I spent a long time stepping away

And since the last time I wish I was stronger

But hearts get broken

And it's not toxic, just the end

The end of us

And now you're holding me back

Trying to pull me under

And now you're holding me back

And you never let go

'Cause you're holding me back

Too close for comfort

Trying to make you the past

And you never let go

I had a hard time trying to forget you

I spent a long time stepping away

And since the last time I wish I was stronger

But hearts get broken

And it's not toxic, just the end

The end of us
