Short Story Lyrics

No longer have the letter in my drawer

You gave to me in the car

I'd never hurt someone like that before

If I could go back, I would change it

I would have been more mature

I was a jerk to you on Thanksgiving

I don't think about it much anymore

It's been awhile since I was sixteen

But I still think about you on your birthday

Though I don't reach out

The friendship bridges have been burned

But that's alright, we're grownups now

Back then I got caught up forcing

What was never meant to be

That's the short story of

You and me

If I'm honest I can't recall

Your favorite holiday or color

It's like I never knew you at all

Though pictures somewhere say different

And time makes everything small

Once important now so hazy

Wonder what you're doin now

Off in la la land, maybe

But I still think about you on your birthday

Though I don't reach out

The friendship bridges have been burned

But that's alright, we're grownups now

Back then I got caught up forcing

What was never meant to be

That's the short story of

You and me

(End of me and you)

I still think about you on your birthday

(Wish you well, I do)

Though I don't reach out

(End of me and you)

Yet I wish you well

(Wish you well, I do)

Hope you find all you dreamed about

(End of me and you)

I got caught up forcing

(Wish you well, I do)

What was never meant to be

(End of me and you)

That's the end of you and me

(Wish you well, I do)

That's the end of the story
