lyrics

Forgetting about how we used to be it’s like I’m running away from the truth
There’s no one around who can heal this pain
I’m like a wounded soldier at war
The chance of survival isn’t all that great
Maybe that’s why we’re meant to be free
These pictures of you now consume my brain
There’s nothing better than being in love

Leave now you’re never gonna see me (The last of us)
That’s all you’ll ever get to know me (The end)
I’m tired of feeling like a loser
We’re like a book that lost its final page

We pressure ourselves that every-thing's ok but we viciously made it worse
The scars from your past became perfectly clear
Wasn’t the hopeless romantic you were
The daily routine completely swallowed us whole
Maybe I don’t know how to have fun
You’re leaving me hanging day by day
There’s nothing worse than being alone

Leave now you’re never gonna see me (The last of us)
That’s all you’ll ever get to know me (The end)
I’m tired of feeling like a loser
We’re like a book that lost its final page
Go out and start a whole new life (There’s nothing left)
Give up and find another good guy (For now)
Your heart is in the big city and I’ll be working hard down in Jersey
