It hurts to know when all said and done
That I was not forever, just a little bit of fun
You said I was special and your actions said it too
Made it so real, made me want to feel,
Told myself don't jump, you don't know these seas
So I tried all the tricks to see if you checked out
Passed them all so well, I felt silly to have doubt
And it lasted
And it lasted
And it lasted
Till the distance got loud, I couldn't hear you
Just a whisper visiting me from time to time
Now it's a memory, a week gone, you don't even remember me
Am I that easy to forget
That you mistake our friendship for regret
I tell myself it's okay, you never belonged to me anyway
You have your life and I have mine, i remember how it good it felt when those lines crossed in time
I'll write this sad song, you won't even care
You don't even know these words exist
You don't even know you did anything wrong
You don't even know I'm sad that you're gone
You don't even know I was strong
And it lasted
And it lasted
And it lasted
Till I see you don't even notice  when I'm not there
That it doesn't bother you, not even a little care
I wonder how it could possibly be
That the boy who once was so excited for me
Who sent me songs, stayed up till 3
Just so he could chat with me
Now wants nothing to do with me.
