Once upon a time I believe it was a tuesday when I caught your eye And we caught onto something I hold onto the night You looked me in the eye and told me you loved me
Were you just kidding? Cause it seems to me, this thing is breaking down We almost never speak I don't feel welcome anymore Baby what happened, please tell me? Cause one second it was perfect Now you're halfway out the door
And I stare at the phone, he still hasn't called And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all And you flashback to when he said Forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Was I out of line? Did I say something way too honest That made you run and hide like a scared little boy I looked into you in the eyes Thought I knew you for a minute Now I'm not so sure
So heres everything coming down to nothing Heres to silence that cuts me to the core Where is this going? thought I knew for a minute But I don't anymore
And I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all And you flashback to when he said Forever and always
Oh, and it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone Cause I was there when you said forever and always You didn't mean it baby, I don't think so
Back up, baby, back up Did you forget everything Back up, baby, back up Did you forget everything
Cause it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone Cause I was there when you said forever and always
Oh, I stare at the phone, he still hasnt called And then you feel so low you can't feel nothing at all And you flashback to when we said Forever and always
And it rains in your bedroom Everything is wrong It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone Cause I was there when you said forever and always
You didn't mean it baby you said forever and always I don't think so yeah

He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days He says, "Why fall in love just so you can watch it go away? " He spends most of his nights wishing it was how it used to be He spends most of his flights getting pulled down by gravity I call, just checking up on him He's up, 3 A. M. , pacing He says, "It's not just a phase I'm in" My voice comes out begging
All this time I didn't know You were breaking down I'd fall to pieces on the floor If you weren't around Too young to know it gets better I'll be summer sun for you forever Forever winter if you go
He seems fine most of the time Forcing smiles and never minds His laugh is a symphony When the lights go out, it's hard to breathe I pull at every thread trying to solve the puzzles in his head Live my life scared to death he'll decide to leave instead I call, just checking up on him He's up, 5 A. M. , wasted Long gone, not even listening My voice comes out screaming
All this time I didn't know You were breaking down I'd fall to pieces on the floor If you weren't around Too young to know it gets better I'll be summer sun for you forever Forever winter if you go
If I was standing there in your apartment I'd take that bomb in your head and disarm it I'd say I love you even at your darkest and Please don't go
I didn't know You were breaking down I'd fall to pieces on the floor If you weren't around Too young to know it gets better I'll be summer sun for you forever Forever winter if you go
I'll be your summer sun forever At 3 A. M. , pacing All this time I didn't know At 5 A. M. , wasted I'd be in pieces on the floor Forever winter if you go
He says he doesn't believe anything much he hears these days I say, "Believe in one thing, I won't go away"
No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
It was the best of times, the worst of crimes I struck a match and blew your mind But I didn't mean it And you didn't see it The ties were black, the lies were white In shades of grey in candlelight I wanted to leave him I needed a reason
X marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, I was lyin' to myself I knew it from the first old fashioned We were cursed We never had a shotgun shot in the dark
You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place Where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place Where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-ahh No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
It was the great escape, the prison break The light of freedom on my face But you weren't thinkin' And I was just drinkin' Well, he was runnin' after us I was screamin', "go, go, go! " But with three of us, honey, it's a sideshow And a circus ain't a love story And now we're both sorry (we're both sorry)
X marks the spot where we fell apart He poisoned the well, every man for himself I knew it from the first old fashioned We were cursed It hit you like a shotgun Shot to the heart
You were drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we'd never get far Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place Where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart I shoulda known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place Where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh No, they never get far, oh-ahh No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde Until I switch to the other side To the other si-I-I-I-ide It's no surprise I turned you in 'Cause us traitors never win I'm in a getaway car I left you in a motel bar Put the money in a bag and I stole the keys That was the last time you ever saw me
Drivin' the getaway car We were flyin', but we never get far (don't pretend) Don't pretend it's such a mystery Think about the place where you first met me Ridin' in a getaway car There were sirens in the beat of your heart (should've known) Should've known I'd be the first to leave Think about the place where you first met me In a getaway car, oh-oh No, we never get far, oh-ahh No, nothing good starts in a getaway car
Ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car Ridin' in a getaway car I was cryin' in a getaway car I was dyin' in a getaway car Said goodbye in a getaway car

Gleaming, twinkling Eyes like sinking ships on waters So inviting, I almost jump in
But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch Everybody wants you Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you Walk past, quick brush I don't like slow motion double vision in rose blush I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush Everybody wants you But I don't like a gold rush
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful? With your hair falling into place like dominoes I see me padding across your wooden floors With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit And the coastal town we wandered 'round had nеver seen a love as pure as it And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea 'Cause it could never be

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been Then you come crashing in Like the realest thing Trying my best to understand All that your love can bring
Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you that I can't keep loving you Oh, half of my heart
I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else I made a plan, stayed the man who can only love himself Lonely was the song I sang 'Til the day you came Showing me a better way and all that my love can bring
Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation Half of my heart takes time Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you that I cant keep loving you Oh, half of my heart with half of my heart
Your faith is strong But I can only fall so far so long Time to hold, later on You will hate that I never gave more to you than half of my heart But I can't stop loving you But I can't stop loving you But I can't stop loving you
With half of my, half of my heart Oh, half of my heart Half of my heart's got a real good imagination Half of my heart's got you Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you That half of my heart won't do
Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring Half of my heart is the part of a man who's never really loved anything

Honey, when I'm above the trees I see this for what it is But now I'm right down in it, all the years I've given Is just shit we're dividin' up Showed you all of my hiding spots I was dancing when the music stopped And in the disbelief, I can't face reinvention I haven't met the new me yet
There'll be happiness after you But there was happiness because of you Both of these things can be true There is happiness
Past the blood and bruise Past the curses and cries Beyond the terror in the nightfall Haunted by the look in my eyes That would've loved you for a lifetime Leave it all behind And there is happiness
Tell me, when did your winning smile Begin to look like a smirk? When did all our lessons start to look like weapons Pointed at my deepest hurt? I hope she'll be your beautiful fool Who takes my spot next to you No, I didn't mean that Sorry, I can't see facts through all of my fury You haven't met the new me yet
There'll be happiness after me But there was happiness because of me Both of these things, I believe There is happiness
In our history, across our great divide There is a glorious sunrise Dappled with the flickers of light From the dress I wore at midnight, leave it all behind And there is happiness
I can't make it go away by making you a villain I guess it's the price I paid for seven years in Heaven And I pulled your body into mine Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties No one teaches you what to do When a good man hurts you And you know you hurt him, too
Honey, when I'm above the trees I see it for what it is But now my eyes leak acid rain on the pillow where you used to lay your head After giving you the best I had Tell me what to give after that All you want from me now is the green light of forgiveness You haven't met the new me yet And I think she'll give you that
