Story Behind The Song

I was in a "friends with benefits" type of relationship with a girl, and as we continued to have this undefined relationship, I knew it was slightly destroying me inside, because she was serving this "ideal" person, and what I was in love with wasn't real. So this was my way of letting that go.

Lyrics

Here comes that old apology
For everything I can't stop feeling
Cuz you know just what you do to me
I'm just another heart you're stealing

Cuz you're just like that old line
I've always heard about love
You burn me everytime
and yet I just can't get enough
I'm always waiting
Exactly where I stood
and you say "believe me"
Honey, I wish I could

CHORUS
Cuz sooner or later you're back for more
and just another black dress on his bedroom floor
and I'm stuck reading about my fate
with every photo post and status update
While you wait for 3 and 4
I realize I can't play anymore

I know what you want to imply
but I think I'm leaving instead
Cuz I know I need to say goodbye
to the version of you that lives in my head

Cuz you're just like that old line
I've always heard about love
It's always on your time
and I think I've had enough
The always maybes were your ideal
So what I fell in love with was never real

CHORUS

The hardest things to let go
are the ones that end so slow
So just go....

CHORUS
