I've been noticing lately
I'm losing myself
I've tried to be gracious
But I'm not doing well

She said "honey don't be wasted
When you return home
You know that I can't stand it
When you make me feel alone"

We've been through this
So many times before
So I took for granted
That you would always know

Hey dear, we always said this
For years, we knew there was distance
When we kissed, at least we can say we tried
Hey dear, don't lose your mind to ideas
That we were just weakened
By this who would have thought that time
Would make us feel alone

We could've been the class clowns
Pretend there's no one else around
Wave goodbye to youth
As we're driving out of town
We were too young
To see this all through
Purest intent
Cause this is all we knew

Hey dear, we always said this
For years, we knew there was distance
When we kissed, at least we can say we tried
Hey dear, don't lose your mind to ideas
That we were just weakened
By this who would have thought that time
Would make us feel alone
