lyrics

Each day, the only thing I think of to say
Its really such a shame, that our love to you was a game

And I try, but I can't seem to rationalize
The pretty little lies that I told myself to get by

When I close my eyes, memories run through my mind
Recalling better times when we were together
And I've been losing sleep, tossing, turning in my sheets
The nights last so much longer girl, since you left me

Each night, pacing underneath the moonlight
Consumed by all the ways, that I could convince you to stay

When I close my eyes, memories run through my mind
Recalling better times when we were together
And I've been losing sleep, tossing, turning in my sheets
The nights last so much longer girl, since you left me
Yeah I've been losing sleep, tossing, turning in my sheets
The nights last so much longer girl, since you left me

And maybe, it was all misunderstanding
'Cause nothing's meant to be, how could I be so naive
