Lyrics

Remember the nights, when the sun would arrive without warning
We'd answer the phone and before we would know it was morning.
Joking around, we’d laugh till we found ourselves closer than we meant to be
Talking into the night, with you by my side
Felt like you knew me better than me

But you’re picturing me in black and white photographs, fading into the past
And I’m scraping my knees wearing the tattered dress you gave to me.

I would have written a song about you
without you going and tearing my heart out like you do
It’d be a happy song, we could just dance alone
But you like to stand in the middle of spotlights
You thought that you knew who I was so you hurt me too
It could’ve been happy the song I was writing for you

We all throw the dice even when the odds are against us
If I took your advice I’d run as far as I could I’m defenseless
It’s that same kind of feeling in stomach and chest
Heart beating faster, catch in my breath
Couldn’t stop smiling like when we first met
Now memories are all I can bet

But you’re picturing me in black and white photographs, fading into the past
And I’m scraping my knees wearing the tattered dress you gave to me.

I would have written a song about you
without you going and tearing my heart out like you do
It’d be a happy song, we could just dance alone
But you like to stand in the middle of spotlights
You thought that you knew who I was so you hurt me too
It could’ve been happy the song I was writing for you

I’d known you so long but maybe I never did
Thought we had it all but we weren’t ready yet
We chose fear, I’m still here
I’m grateful for all that you gave to me




I would have written a song about you
without you going and tearing my heart out like you do
It’d be a happy song, we could just dance alone
But you like to stand in the middle of spotlights
You thought that you knew who I was so you hurt me too
It could’ve been happy the song I was writing for you
It could’ve been happy the song I was writing for you
It could’ve been happy the song I was writing for you
