[Verse 1]
We dug our graves, and parted ways
And counted down the days
Left it up to fate and circumstance
My mother said, "Don't feed the strays, they'll break your heart and run away"
But there you were, crying in my hand

[Pre-Chorus 1]
What if I'm a mess again?
What if I second-guess again?
And listen to the worries in my head?
I held you close, and felt the world
I ran my fingers through your curves
I hope you took to heart what I said

[Chorus]
Do your lungs forget to breathe?
Does your tongue forget to speak?
When you think you lost the thing you'll nevеr find
When your mind won't let you sleep
When your prayеrs don't bring you peace
Just pretend we never said goodbye

[Verse 2]
You promised me you wouldn't leave
And boy, was I naive
I never should've let you in my yard
My mother said, "Don't give them angst, they'll break your heart and run away"
And there you were, crying in my arms
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Future's on the line again
I'm falling back in time again
It all comes rushing back in burning red
I held you close, and felt the world
I ran my fingers through your curves
I hope you took to heart what I said

[Chorus]
Do your lungs forget to breathe?
Does your tongue forget to speak?
When you think you lost the thing you'll never find
When your mind won't let you sleep
When your prayers don't bring you peace
Just pretend we never said goodbye

[Bridge]
I see it all so vividly
Now thinking 'bout you's bittersweet
'Cause I was supposed to be your valentine
I'm counting sheep in make-believe
You're spitting out apologies
I tried, I know you tried

[Chorus]
When you're lonely, when you're fine
Does it ever cross your mind?
The song we used to sing on 405
Do you ever think of me
In your crimson sweater sleeves?
And pretend we never said goodbye
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And pretend we never said goodbye
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And pretend we never said goodbye
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And pretend we never said goodbye
Oh-oh-oh-oh
And pretend we never said goodbye
