Yesterday, I drove past your house
Dead of night, there was no one around
Could feel myself sinking, feel myself drown
And as the water rushed in, I didn't even try to swim out
Didn't answer your text at 3am
Lied and said I was already sleeping
But we know I haven't slept through the night since '08
But it feels easier than trying to explain why
Your name sends a dagger through my heart
Think we were doomed from the very start
Guess this was inevitable, just a detour to the finish linе
But for a moment, I thought you were minе
I thought you were mine
I used to dream in technicolour
Now I'm lucky if I dream in black and white
And I spend most days living back in past
Cause if I force myself to relive it, maybe then I'll understand why
I always place my neck on the chopping block
Just to find out you're the executioner
No matter what we do, we still end up at the finish line
But for a moment, I thought you were mine
I thought you were mine
And darling, I can always tell when you're lying
Your eyebrows pinch together and your lips get thin
And darling, you say the cruelest things when you're smiling
Tried to push you away but you're burrowed right under my skin
Yesterday, I drove past your house
Dead of night, there was no one around
Normally, I avoid it, must've been on autopilot
I never understood it but now I do
Dead of night, there was no one around
Could feel myself sinking, feel myself drown
And as the water rushed in, I didn't even try to swim out
Didn't answer your text at 3am
