This Low from Burning Buildings by Burning Buildings

“I guess that’s it,” was all that you said,
Then, you stood up and walked away;
Ended abruptly as it began.

Now you can’t say that I didn’t try,
But it is possible that I
Was the one who pushed you away when I wanted you closer.
I needed you closer.

The doublespeak wasn’t making sense,
But we told ourselves it did,
Yet another lie.

I tried my best to sleep at night, (night)
But, with you right by my side, (by my side)
The feeling of your skin on mine sent shivers up and down my spine.

We tried so hard, but not enough.
(There’s something sinister behind your eyes.)

Why did I stay here?
Why did you go?
Why did I stick around?
Never thought I could feel this low.

I see your face every now and then
But it is not the one I knew
Isn’t it strange how quickly we become strangers, fade away and grow apart?

Thought I was so sure of everything,
I never thought I could be so wrong,
Because you knew our demise was under our noses all along.

Everyone said, there’s no hope left.
(You’re not the person that I thought you were.)

Why did I stay here?
Why did you go?
Why did I stick around?
Never thought I could feel this low.

There’s so much shit that I can take,
And I’m not gonna take it anymore.
I’ve got so much more to give.

Wanna go back to the way it was before,
Tired of seeing you walk out that door,
One of these days you’ll turn around and I’ll be gone
For good.
