I wanted to go on grocery store runs 
with you at 3 AM. 
But now it's been 3 years, 
and you tell people we're not friends. 

Now I shop the other side of town, 
and I try to forget you, 
'cause if I see you around, 
I know I'll regret... 

I'll regret it all. 
And the not calling. 
And the needing of time 
which just kept escaping. 
The bends and the aches, 
'cause we keep on breaking 
apart. 

So I've painted over 
all the hollow walls 
I built up, 
but I can't ignore 
how your face 
is gone from every photo. 
And I still, 
still don't know how to 
Not regret... 

Regret it all. 
And the not calling. 
And the needing of time 
which just kept escaping. 
The bends and the aches, 
'cause we keep on breaking. 
It's hard 
knowing we might 
never restart 
'cause I need, 
I need another chance, 
but there's bends and high stakes. 
And it's painstaking 
being apart. 

The not calling. 
The needing of time. 
It's escaping. 
The bends; 
the aches; 
I keep breaking. 
I need, 
I need 
another chance. 
It's so hard, 
so hard 
being apart. 

Grocery store runs at 3 AM. 
Did you know I still call 
you my best friend? 

I try to pretend 
I don't see you around 
'cause you know I regret 
I regret (I regret)... 

The not calling. 
And the needing of time 
which just keeps escaping. 
The bends and the aches, 
'cause we keep on breaking. 
It's hard 
knowing we might 
never restart, 
'cause I need, 
I need 
another chance. 
But there's bends and high stakes.  

And it's painstaking being apart.
