Lyrics

You told them lies that got me in trouble
Changed the way they thought for a while
I wanted nothing to do with you
Every chance you had you popped my bubble
I had a tough time but you piled on a struggle
I was a mess from what you put me through
Every day that I lost it
I was wishing you were down a bit more
Then I saw you falling
I wasn’t sure what it was all for

But I’m learning to look past those days
I’m trying to love if I could just find a way
I’m wishing you the best but that might be the best from me
Though I wish I could reach back in those days
Find a moment in time that I could change
Shake hands start over again

I tried to hold my ground but the wall fell over
I let you make some choices when you stood on my shoulder
You crawled your way into every dream I had
It was strange and sad and with time grew colder
Nothing changed but my bitterness got older
I was getting out of there before I broke bad
I ignore when you call up
Pretending I don’t hear my phone
You ask me why we never talk
Every chance you find me alone

But I’m learning to look past those days
I’m trying to love if I could just find a way
I’m wishing you the best but that might be the best from me
Though I wish I could reach back in those days
Find a moment in time that I could change
Shake hands start over again

I go about my life feeling so much better
A knock on my shin or some rainy weather
Hardly dampens the mood now since I can think
Where I’m at now might not last forever
And our ties might not be permanently severed
But seeing the thread so bare hooked the final link
I woke up one morning
listening to the silence outside
And all the miles between us
That kept us from destroying our lives

But I’m learning to look past those days
I’m trying to love if I could just find a way
I’m wishing you the best but that might be the best from me
Though I wish I could reach back in those days
Find a moment in time that I could change
Shake hands start over again
