lyrics

Woke up early to the morning rain
From a dream that left me blue
There you were standing in
No man’s land
Telling me a version of the truth
I thought that yesterday was good
I thought I got you off my mind
So don’t tell me that you’re sorry
I don’t want to waste more
Precious time

Bittersweet memories
Make a sad song to sing
Makes me think there’s something wrong with me
When I become my only friend
And there’ll come a time
When I’m sick of crying
And I’ll wanna try again
Until then
I’ll have to pretend

Remember we were laughing in the kitchen
And we kicked off our shoes to dance
Well maybe I’m just a sentimental dreamer
For thinking we had a chance
But if you try to tell me it was nothing
Those are words that I won’t believe
So while you’re in denial I can
Fake a smile
But you know you were more than just my friend

Bittersweet memories
Make a sad song to sing
Makes me think there’s something wrong with me
When I become my only friend
And there’ll come a time
When I’m sick of crying
And I’ll wanna try again
Until then
I’ll have to pretend

Bittersweet memories
Make a sad song to sing
Makes me think there’s something wrong with me
When I become my only friend
And there’ll come a time
When I’m sick of crying
And I’ll wanna try again
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
Until then
I’ll have to pretend
