The sun sets slowly on the lake
Like your head resting on my shoulder
It's not that we were a mistake
I just can't love you when I'm older
The moonlight glowing on your face
As we inch a little closer
And the longer that I fake it
The truth is that much colder

I didn't want to lose you, I lost myself
I didn't want to lose you, I lost myself
I didn't want to lose you
In the morning when you wake
I'll already be gone
I don't intend to drive home safe
I probably shouldn't drive at all
The neighbors find me the next day
Passed out in the lawn
Please don't ask me if I make it
Like it matters to you at all

I didn't want to lose you, I lost myself
I didn't want to lose you, I lost myself
I didn't want to lose you
I forgive you for the things that you have done
And all the people that you're unable to love
Only want to help you bear the burden you've become
Go easy on yourself

I didn't want to lose you, I lost myself
I didn't want to lose you, I lost myself
I didn't want to lose you
