We wrote most of this song from a cabin in Big Bear, CA towards the end of 2018. We both had a bit to drink and the lyrics poured out as one train of thought.

I guess it’s my fault
For figuring out what I did wrong too late to undo it
Sure

Since that morning you called
And you spoke like you didn’t even know me
Saying
Maybe I’m not as nice as I think
And maybe I should’ve been better back then
And I’m not surprised that I'm calling again
Lying alone in my room
This is what I get for thinking
We can just forget
Every minute of the mess we made
Sure I went away
But I haven’t lost hope yet
This is what I get for thinking
We can still be friends
Keep on calling like it's all ok
Like it goes away
When I know we're not good yet
