lyrics

If I could change the truth
could erase every memory of you
I'd escape how I feel
and we'd never know that what we lost was real

I want to believe it's a lie
all the things you said
all the time we spent
letting our hearts bleed out

Because if it was a lie
I could just move on
like nothing's wrong
I could take the easiest route

If it was a lie
I wouldn't ask how and I wouldn't ask why
And if it was all only a game
I'd finally, finally have someone to blame

If it was a lie
I wouldn't be trying to put up a fight
And if it was all only a game
I would've already forgotten your name

But it's just no use hoping for a life we're both wanting
but know deep within we'll never possess
And so we go on coping even though it seems daunting
We both decided that it's for the best

So here's the truth
That sidewalk flower somehow gained strength and grew
And it wasn't the plan to fall deeper still
But that is what happens when everything's real
