[Verse 1: Dylan Minnette]
Held you close when it got colder
Placed your head upon my shoulder
Now it feels like you don't know me
If it's real, then can you show me?
[Refrain: Dylan Minnette]
These are all the things that we'll choose to remember
Did you cross your fingers when you said forever?
Did it look the same with the other before me?
Am I just a name you flip through in your story
[Pre-Chorus: Dylan Minnette]
Of people
You've made to love you?
[Chorus: Dylan Minnette, Dylan Minnette & Braeden Lemasters]
You could've given me a warning
'Cause you had me holding out for nothin'
Oh, you could've given me a warning
If you knew that all your walls would cave in
Yeah, I could've given in some more
But you had me holding open the door
Oh, you could've given me a warning
'Cause you had me holdin' out, holdin' out
[Verse 2: Braeden Lemasters]
Oh, I could've saw the spark in your eyes fading
All these steps that I'm retracing
'Til I get lost and time stops forever
Feel like I'm locked, but you're not, you're better
[Refrain: Braeden Lemasters]
These are all the things that we'll choose to remember
Did you cross your fingers when you said forever?
Did it look the same with the other before me?
Am I just a name you flip through in your story
[Pre-Chorus: Braeden Lemasters]
Of people
You've made to love you
How can you have someone to lean on
If they don't get through?
[Chorus: Dylan Minnette, Dylan Minnette & Braeden Lemasters]
You could've given me a warning
'Cause you had me holding out for nothin'
Oh, you could've given me a warning
If you knew that all your walls would cave in
Yeah, I could've given in some more
But you had me holding open the door
Oh, you could've given me a warning
'Cause you had me holdin' out, holdin' out
[Post-Chorus: Dylan Minnette, Dylan Minnette & Braeden Lemasters]
Oh, you could've given me a warning
'Cause you had me holding out for nothin'
Oh, you could've given me a warning
'Cause you had me holding out for nothin'
Oh, you could've
