So you left without a Dear John letter
Late at night on a fourth of july
Didn't tell us, just walked away
I never heard a "goodbye"
People say it'll never be the same here
I think they might be half right
And there's a part of me (truly the best of me)
That hopes it's gonna be fine

Tell me it's changing
There's a better way
To get some blue from the grey

I got the rest of my life to get some good sleep at night
But for now I will wait
I'm gonna wait for the time
When we're all sleeping just fine
Maybe there's a better way

Faces come faces go like the city
Nobody sees past the grave
Hope is here for today not forever
If it stays it's a waste
You never wore so thin as the other ones
You'd always say what you meant
I wanna be the one who discovers
What were you fighting for? why can't you fight anymore?

I don't know when it happened
Maybe I never did
But you're always in my heart
That's what you said
