Something is wrong. I know it. This is not who she is.

I can't sleep with the sound of the sounds
that rage inside of me.
The feelings of anger just seem so unfair.
And the practical thoughts that erase my heart
as I pick up the phone and head back to the start
of where you left me to die without a message of where we are.

I drive back to the place where you used to live
inside of me.
I just want you to stay here
in my heart for a while.
And the weakness I feel isn't all just a fake
and the tears that I cry didn't start on the face
of a child who lost a battle with the stars.

And I know that you take me for all that I'm worth
but a dirty heart's better off left in the dirt.
Take it and put it back where I belong.

We just wanna hurt
and act like we're better.
Thank everyone else
who has been where we are.
We both know it works,
we're better off as strangers.
So why can't we just let go away?
I'll let it go today.

I fall back to the place where you used to lay
beside me.
The scars on my heart didn't need to end up here.
But I stare at your picture I left on the wall
as the memories of you still race through the hall
and I remember the time we used to have it all
Now it's all gone

and we just wanna hurt
and act like we're better.
Thank everyone else
who has been where we are.
We both know it works,
we're better off as strangers.
So why can't we just let go away?
I'll let it go today.

There's never been a happy ending.
Hearts, they break and lies keep sending
broken lives into the great unknown
I just wanna know

why we just wanna hurt
and act like we're better.
Blame everyone else
who told us where we are.
We both know it hurts,
but we'll never be just strangers.
So I can't sit and let you walk away,
I'll let go today.
Let it all just go away.
So I can love you every day.
And we'll both just float away.
I love you every day.
