Caught crying at the bar
As your friends danced from afar.
Your necklace hides the scars
Where seventeen ripped you apart.
You said, "If this year's like the past,
Well I don't think I could last."
Cause now your head and your heart are coming apart
And falling far from view
Your head and your heart are coming apart
You said you'd made it through
All the hurt and the harm,
It's tattooed on your arm:
It doesn't make it true.
Because your head and your heart are coming apart,
And falling far from view.
Your feet move awfully fast like
Someone on the run from her past.
Your heart beats kinda hard,
Like one that's spent time apart.
You said, "If this years like the past,
Well, I don't think I could last."
I've seen happy people, but
Only from afar.
Now you talk like something's missing
Those lips too used to kissing
They shiver while you cry
Did you think they'd kiss me goodbye?
