When I see you in the same old place, you brush right past me in that hallway
I fake a smile so you won't see
But everything is tearing up inside of me
Feelings rush back to haunt my memories
What I've done is hard for even me to believe
I hope you've been able to at least sleep well at night
Because I've never been able to get past the part where I used to hold you tight
The longest shadows ever cast were from my fall onto the floor
When I used to be your boy, the person who made your life before
Held your dreams up with the guidance of a star in the dark
You're the girl I would talk about for days since our very first spark
You walk past me, so elegantly
Can you tell I can barely breathe?
You look past me with those gorgeous eyes that take my breath away
Your warm smile is gone and the affections we used to display
The longest shadows ever cast were from my fall onto the floor
When I used to be your boy, the person who made your life before
Held your dreams up with the guidance of a star in the dark
You're the girl I would talk about for days since our very first spark
You were right, she wasn't worth it
I think long and hard of why I couldn't commit
You were so perfect even with a broken heart
Your new boy had better treat you right from the start
I close my wallet and my picture of you
Maybe I'll be able to sleep a whole night through
You were all I needed to fall into ...
My eyes blur as I stare right through the piercing darkness.
