the barrier around your heart
was ever so fragile
and i broke down the glass
in case of emergency
to set you free
free from me
like the tower of Babel
we reached for the heavens
hoping to grasp our own
slice of Elysium
yet we didn't reach
far enough
and i lost my way
searching for the stars
in hopes of finding you
again
the person you are now
is not the person i knew
and i know i blew it
and you said screw it
and my only chance i blew
we were young and in love
like two hopeless romantics
ignoring all of the red flags
so that we had our happy ending
well an ending is what we got
the day you left me hanging
i'll never forget the day you
