I wrote you a letter To make myself feel better To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost
And we were a lost cause Long before we fell apart 'Cause honey, I was too eager And you were too smart
And I look for you In these empty rooms You're a phone call away I'm on the interstate
And I've been drinking cheap wine Just to pass the time I'm falling behind And it doesn't matter who you are to me
Well, I'm just like my mother We both love to run Chase impossible things Or unreachable dreams
Lie awake in the night Thinking this can't be right But there is no other way To live a life alone I'm alone now
Then suddenly we wake from this dream That we have made It hits you all at once and then it slowly fades I'm raising in to nothing now It all falls away I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay
