lyrics

I can’t seem to sleep at night
Ever since you went away
I just can’t turn my mind off
Just can’t seem to ignore the pain

Feels like I’m swimming in static
And I can’t change the channel

It hurts to see you happy
How could you move on so damn fast
Feel like I’m stuck in limbo
But I know that this rut won’t last

I know that I’ll be ok
And I guess that’s half the battle

Just let the white noise
Wash over my mind
I’ll keep on moving forward
One step at a time
And the next time that I see you
I won’t feel anything at all

Some days it’s not so easy
Some days I cry to all my friends
How could you leave so quickly
I had no chance to make amends

But I don’t think I could have
This probably was a long time coming

It’s not like you were perfect
I didn’t expect you to be
Thought we had that in common
But that wasn’t the truth I see

Hindsight is 20/20
You’ve got a history of running

Just let the white noise
Wash over my mind
I’ll keep on moving forward
One step at a time
And the next time that I see you
I won’t feel anything at all

Oh oh
We both saw what we wanted to see
Oh oh
I saw the best in you, you saw the worst in me
Oh oh
We both saw what we wanted to see
Oh oh
I saw the best in you I saw the best in you

I was so scared you’d leave me
I thought I’d break and never heal
Should give myself more credit
I was so sure of how I’d feel

But now you’ve gone away
and I’m so far from the bottom

I’m giving this some distance
Trying to give myself a little space
Think it’ll help me move on
Help me to not get stuck in place

But don’t you for one second
Think that I’ve forgotten

Just let the white noise
Wash over my mind
I’ll keep on moving forward
One step at a time
And the next time that I see you
I won’t feel anything at all
