I woke up such a mess today
So alone and so afraid
That all the mistakes I had made
Had followed me back to this place
And all these faded memories
They still haunt me in my sleep
Well excuse me for the way I look at you
You remind me of someone I thought I knew
And I loved her so
But she left me in this tomb
So why does it always end this way
A million things we never say
'Cause if our hearts weren't meant to break
Why is there so much we can take
Well excuse me for the way I look at you
'Cause you remind me of someone I swore I knew
And I loved her so
But she left me in this tomb
So alone and so afraid
That all the mistakes I had made
Had followed me back to this place
And all these faded memories
They still haunt me in my sleep
You remind me of someone I thought I knew
And I loved her so
But she left me in this tomb
A million things we never say
'Cause if our hearts weren't meant to break
Why is there so much we can take
'Cause you remind me of someone I swore I knew
And I loved her so
But she left me in this tomb
