I wrote you a letter to make myself feel better To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost And we were a lost cause long before we fell apart Cause honey I was too eager and you were too smart Yet I look for you in these empty rooms You're a phone call away, I'm on the interstate And I've been drinking cheap wine just to pass the time I'm falling behind and it doesn't matter who you are To me I'm just like my mother, we both love to run Chasing possible things, oh unreachable dreams Lie awake in the night, thinking this can't be right But there is no other way to live life alone Then suddenly we wake from this dream that we have made It hits you all at once and then it slowly fades I'm racing into nothing now, it all falls away I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay
