Everything Looks Better (In Hindsight)

When you wake up in the morning
 Are you lonely
 To find only the items I had left
 By your bedside on the table to your right hand
 Little traces are the proof that I exist
 Looking back now I can see your clear green eyes
 In that old shed with the string lights you reside
 With the swing set stuck above you in the rafters
 And the books and the records on each side
 And the books and the records on each side
 I knew I could grow to love him
 But his walls came up too fast
 I was strong in his presence
 But he left me for the past
 Now will he ever stop haunting me
 And let me go
 My mind should lose their memories
 My mind should lose their memories
 
 I only remember the sweetest of things
 I only remember the sweetest things
 ♪
 Keep her close now, keep her happy, keep her wanting
 Don't desert now the way that you did me
 Cook her breakfast, share your music, tell your secrets
 Give it all like you never plan to leave
 Oh did you plan to leave
 ♪
 And I tell your friends it was easier then to give your heart away
 Before it all became broken and eager to love
 I gave it all with hate
 So if you're telling your story, especially of heart ache
 It better ring out true
 To pass down your blood line and travel through song
 In an honest remembrence of you
 Cause I knew I could grow to love him
 But his walls came up too fast
 I was so strong in his presence
 But he left me for his past
 Now will he ever stop haunting
 And let me go
 Will he ever say goodbye to me
 I've been on my own
