Lyrics

so you left without a dear john letter
late at night on a fourth of july
didn't tell us, just walked away
I never heard a "goodbye"
people say it'll never be the same here
I think they might be half right
and there's a part of me (truly the best of me)
that hopes it's gonna be fine

tell me it's changing
there's a better way
to get some blue from the grey

I got the rest of my life to get some good sleep at night
but for now I will wait
I'm gonna wait for the time
when we're all sleeping just fine
maybe there's a better way

faces come faces go like the city
nobody sees past the grave
hope is here for today not forever
if it stays it's a waste
you never wore so thin as the other ones
you'd always say what you meant
I wanna be the one who discovers
what were you fighting for? why can't you fight anymore?

I don't know when it happened
maybe I never did
but you're always in my heart
that's what you said
