You Said Lyrics

The perfect time

The perfect home

I still think of it

I'd tell you "I'll have it all myself

I just haven't yet"

You said

"It'll end up the same"

How come it's so fucked then

"It'll be okay"

Why can't I see it that way

Hold on

How did that perfect thing end

How did those few years

just slip right through my hands

I want to feel that free again

I'll hold what it felt like

Everything must end

I'd call to lie over the phone

You knew I did

I'd tell you all the reasons

The world wanted me dead

You said, "well that's how it goes"

You were pushing me

So my skin wasn't paper thin

You just wanted me to grow up

Somehow I did

Somehow I did

It's not for lack of trying

Your love couldn't stop it

The flatline was calling

Nothing could stop me

Hold on

How did that perfect thing end

How did those few years

just slip right through my hands

I want to feel that free again

I'll hold what it felt like

Everything must end
