How much do you remember about those summers we spent together?
'Cause I don't seem to be able to recall
All the things I thought that I'd miss
Your perfume and your sun-kissed skin
Turns out they meant nothing all along
I was haunted by the emptiness that filled the hole you left
A grave I still can't bring myself to visit yet
Though I won't be losing sleep, I still refuse to forget
It took me so long to admit that we were dead
But we were dead
You buried it in the backyard of a house that we built
With our bare hands, where you said we'd grow old together
I felt safe there
I knew every crooked frame, every creaking stair
I could have stayed my whole fucking life
But time was never a friend of mine
I got so scared that I disappeared into my head for 8 lonely years
And it killed me, but it hurt you too
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
But you weren't there when I needed you most
And I felt like I was a ghost of someone you used to love
But I was never enough to save us
'Cause I don't seem to be able to recall
All the things I thought that I'd miss
Your perfume and your sun-kissed skin
Turns out they meant nothing all along
I was haunted by the emptiness that filled the hole you left
A grave I still can't bring myself to visit yet
Though I won't be losing sleep, I still refuse to forget
It took me so long to admit that we were dead
But we were dead
You buried it in the backyard of a house that we built
With our bare hands, where you said we'd grow old together
I felt safe there
I knew every crooked frame, every creaking stair
I could have stayed my whole fucking life
But time was never a friend of mine
I got so scared that I disappeared into my head for 8 lonely years
And it killed me, but it hurt you too
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry
But you weren't there when I needed you most
And I felt like I was a ghost of someone you used to love
But I was never enough to save us
