We Won't Be The Same Lyrics

You said so much but I could never listen

Turns out nobody, not even you, could ever come between me and my pessimism

Preparing for the worst has served me well, but how do I look forward to the mission

To climb the learning curve of starting over with so little knowledge of the system

Don't you know

It's so disheartening to have to let something go.

So I'll erase the watermark

And watch you fade into the dark

I won't forget your favorite films or your middle name

But it's useless information now

And we might stay on good terms, but no matter how

Close we try to remain

We won't be the same.

Living like this isn't new to me

By day I work a faceless waitress job where there's no use in knowing who or whose to be

By night, I feed a parasocial crush on a YouTuber you introduced to me

The noise of videos and work helps me forget to miss everything that we used to be

You know

It's so monotonous to have to let something go.

All of the time that we spent

Is behind us, and there's nothing ahead

And it has gotten harder, moving on from a partner to lose a best friend

And a weekly amicable text

Doesn't make it any easier to accept

That it's all down the drain

We won't be the same.
