All Our Mistakes

Sometimes I can’t get up, can’t

Force myself to move from this
Bed that we used to lay in together
Whispering secrets in the night

To each other, how we used
To laugh at all our crazy dreams
All the wild goals we’d achieve
When we were older and wiser

Something in me broke, but I was
So relieved when you let me go
When you had the strength to walk
Away from me and all our mistakes

I guess we’re older now, because we’ve
Grown up and moved apart, and
This shouldn’t hurt like it does
Alone in this bed that was ours

Something in me broke, but I was
So relieved when you let me go
When you had the strength to walk
Away from me and all our mistakes

Now when my hand reaches
Out, you’re not there to reach
Back, to hold me tight, to keep
Me close, like when it was both

Of us against the whole world
That’s all gone now, and there’s
Nothing but empty space next to
Me now, still in your familiar shape

Something in me broke, but I was
So relieved when you let me go
When you had the strength to walk
Away from me and all our mistakes

We’re nothing but a shadow that fades
Away like fog in the dawn, and I’m
Left with nothing but the silent tears
Falling where you last kissed me

On the corner of my lips, pressing
Softly and sweetly as you said good-bye
Will I ever forget the way you smiled
Sadly before you turned your back

Something in me broke, but I was
So relieved when you let me go
When you had the strength to walk
Away from me and all our mistakes

Until then, our bed is still made for
Two, me and you, even though I know
You’re not coming back, I’ll breathe
You in until your scent disappears

Something in me broke, but I was

So relieved when you let me go
When you had the strength to walk
Away from me and all our mistakes
