I'm watching everything go sideways
And i can't do a thing to make it stop
I won't remember this tomorrow
But i'll be sad when i wake up
I wish we were back in your apartment
I want you to sing me to sleep
I'll forget my wallet so i'll have to come back
And you won't forget me
Thought it was only fair
But i swear i didn't think it through this far
You chose this first
So i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
I don't want to see this part
I'm watching everything go sideways
Feels like someone's messing with my head
I'm not prepared to never know you again
I'm sorry, can we stop this instead?
Thought it was only fair
But i swear i didn't think it through this far
You chose this first
So i didn't think it'd hit me quitе this hard
I don't want to see this part
When this is over
I'll nevеr know that
I ever missed you at all
I'll be a stranger and
You will be kissing somebody
That i don't know
I'll take the train to the beach
And i'll sit on the sand
And i'll never know
I had a life before this
I don't want this
Thought it was only fair
But i swear i didn't think it through this far
You chose this first
So i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
I don't want to see this part
