Song lyrics

I used to think one day
We'd tell the story of us
How we met and how sparks flew instantly
People would say 'they're the lucky ones'
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room
For an empty seat
Cause lately I don't even know
What page you're on
Oh, a simple complication,
Miscommunication's lead to a fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through

[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah, I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

Next Chapter

How'd we end up this way you see me nervously
Pulling at my clothes and trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story os us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should've held me
Oh, I'm scared to see the ending, why are we pretending
This is nothing, I'd tell you I miss you
But I don't know how,
I've never heard silence quite this loud

[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah, I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate, When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armour down
If you say you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon

[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah, I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate, When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now

And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah, I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate, cause we're going down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now

The End



The Story of Us

This is just another story bout boy meets girl,
Boy leaves her
Crashes her world.
This is the story bout me and you, and everything that we been through

This ain't no fairytale kinda story babe,
This was real.
Never thought that one day I'd be able to tell you how I feel.
Don't you remember that night, that saturday night,
you took my hand and it felt so right
And at that moment I told you about my dreams,
Everything I wanted us to be...

Summer passed quick, all was ending
And I could feel fall on my shoulders
I was waiting till september and I'd see your face
But in that moment I knew it was over.

And I remember that day, you moved away
Every little bit of my heart just sank
I remember what happened when I came home,
I ran to my room and closed the door...

Ohhh, I was out of town one day,
I saw you sittin on the porch, you looked at me
You said sorry that you did me wrong
You been thinking bout me all along
I said baby I don't even care
I'm just glad I'm here.

This is just another story bout boy meets girl,
Boy loves her
Rocks her world.
This is the story bout me and you,
And everything that we been through

That we've been through, woah ohh
