It's gonna be so hard
To watch you leave
Because in the end I never really knew you
And though it seems like cutting nonexistent strings
Would likely take away the sting
I think I'd rather miss something
Than nothing
Never thought I'd give a eulogy
For dreams and awkward scenes
The fragile beginnings of birds
Who never find their wings
And if I could tell it the way it looked outside reality
It wouldn't be boring, no
It couldn't be
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
At least I never did you wrong
This is how the beat's supposed to read
A little more busy
More dancing in the streets
A little less unrequited sleep
Don't regret a single word I said
It's more the ones I held in deep, yeah
They started to scare me
So unruly
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
At least I never did you wrong
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
At least I never did you wrong
It's gonna be so hard
To watch you leave
Because in the end I never really knew you
And though it seems like cutting nonexistent strings
Would likely take away the sting
I think those strings were really strings
And I haven't learned a thing
So here's to
The thought of you
I knew the ending all along
Did nothing
Of all the things that I could do
I never meant to do you wrong
