lyrics

I thought I saw your face the other day
I couldn't tell if it was really yours
It felt like it
I felt these horrible things inside
And that's when I realized it didn't really matter if it was you or not because everything was just in my head

I got a letter from you today
After I asked you to never write to me again
What were you thinking?
Did you think by demanding my forgiveness you'd get it?
Did you think by pointing out your loneliness, you'd cease to be alone?
I don't really think that's how it works

Is it possible to ever just be happy?
To be happy with just the sun on your skin, no one at your side, nothing in your head, it's possible to just be happy?
I really pray that it is

So now we're here
All alone again with nothing but the stars above us and nothing but hell below us
And I really want to believe that everything in front of me is real
But is it?
But is it really?
Is everything that I touch, everything that I see just a figment of my imagination?
Can I trust myself?
Can I trust the world around me to be as real as I thought it was?

A minute and a half goes by and I look up to see nothing but a sliver of a moon that I thought was bigger
I thought it was bigger,
I thought it was here
I thought it was here
Am I really here?

Do I really know where I am?
I really wish that I did, I really wish that I knew where everything went
I don't know if anything even has a place here anymore
So I'll just stay here, I'll just stay here
I'll just wait
Just bide my time
Just try to make the best of this weird situation
This weird existence that nobody ever asked for
Nobody ever asked for

This weird existence that nobody ever asked for
Nobody ever asked for...
