[Verse 1: Mike Hranica]
In pieces in separate rooms, by then I had lost my voice
It was over, I couldn't cope or offer up anymore time
When was the last laugh we had, like when we were twenty-five?
It's over, what I'd hoped for couldn't stand being by my side (Side)

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
How could you wanna leave?
Put down, just a memory
Been holding on by a string

[Verse 2: Mike Hranica]
By April, the snow was melting
And I thought you'd give another try
But it was past now, gone for good now
No longer twenty-five, no longer twenty-five

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
How could you wanna leave?
Put down, just a mеmory
Been holding on by a string
Who is it this could be
This person in front of me?
Know I triеd everything
But I'm not what you wanted
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Mike Hranica]
I hate to call it all a mistake
Why couldn't it come my way?
Still blaming the same escape, it was fake

[Chorus: Mike Hranica & Jeremy DePoyster]
How could you wanna leave?
Put down, just a memory
Been holding on by a string
Who is it this could be
This person in front of me?
Know I tried everything
