We used to be together
Except I don't see us getting any better
Close enough to start a war
But we've already been here before
It's like living in the nightmare of someone else's dream
Almost like poison to me
I want to be with you
But when we fight there is nothing I can do
Just tell me whats on your mind
Instead of going into overtime
If we could rearrange
Maybe somethings could change
But you say things won't last
So it looks like I'll be part of your past
