You've got me singing the same old songs
But I don't even feel that broken
Looking back it wasn't me who went wrong
Only the truth was spoken
And it's not who you were then
It's who you are now, and I'm so tired
But I just can't seem to sleep
I'm laughing, but I don't feel safe
It's a melody that I just can't replace
And will we ever relive those days?
(Will we ever relive those days?)
I'm crying, but I don't feel sad
I'd be lying if I said I don't feel bad
But do you really wanna go back?
Do you really wanna go back?
Why the hell does love feel so surreal,
But hate is so fucking relateable?
I wish I could tell my feelings how to feel
Apparently it's not debateable
And it's not who I was then
It's who I am now and I'm so tired
But I just can't seem to sleep
I'm laughing, but I don't feel safe
It's a melody that I just can't replace
And will we ever relive those days?
(Will we ever relive those days?)
I'm crying, but I don't feel sad
I'd be lying if I said I don't feel bad
But do you really wanna go back?
Do you really wanna go back?
Perfection is so elusive
Perfection is so obtrusive
We don't control who we hold close
To our hearts at all
I'm laughing, but I don't feel safe
It's a melody that I just can't replace
And will we ever relive those days?
(Will we ever relive those days?)
I'm crying, but I don't feel sad
I'd be lying if I said I don't feel bad
But do you really wanna go back?
Do you really wanna go back?
