If there was a picture for every time I was with you
I’d fill up your post
But you only show the one’s with half my face
On the edge of the page
Might as well just cut me out from view
Cause that is all I mean to you, at most
But I won’t waste another moment, another breath
Cause I know you won’t
You lost your grasp, with both of your hands on me
And now I don’t choke
On the thought of you not wanting me, no
I guess I was never someone you’d ever need

Did you ever really love me?
Or were you trying to pass the time?
Cause I’m sitting on the floor, staring at
the wall, thinking how you make me feel so empty inside
Inside my mind i’ll apologize and say the words you never could, cause it’s not fair the way you hurt me
And even though you lost it all, you’ll never know it til you’re sitting on the floor and you’re staring at the wall, feeling empty
I used to wake up in a panic
They tried to fix me with some pills
But I didn’t feel any better until
I saw the truth, it was you that was making me sick
Sick to the stomach cause you said I couldn’t stomach that I wasn’t your favorite person, but you don’t deserve it
Cause you just desert me
And even though I gave you all, you’ll never know it til you’re sitting on the floor and you’re staring at the wall
Feeling empty
Did you ever really love me?
Or were you just trying to pass the time?
You make me feel so empty
You know, I used to sit on the floor and stare at the wall,
But, well, not anymore

Maybe I didn’t love you enough
Or maybe I loved you too much
I’ve been asking myself all these questions
and holding my heart for ransom
cause I can’t seem to find an answer
I used to know you like the back of my hand
and you could find me in a crowd
just from the hair on my head
But times have changed and so have we
I’ll always have the memories
Goodbye perfect stranger
I used to know, but now it’s dangerous
to let my heart draw near to yours anymore
It’s no longer familiar
I used to sit on the floor and stare at the wall
I remember when you made me happy, but
I guess I was never someone you’d ever need
I remember when you wanted me
I used to know you and all the songs on your phone
And you used to tell me that we’d help each other grow
But times have changed and so have we
Who knew you’d grow apart from me
Goodbye perfect stranger
I used to know, but now it’s dangerous
to let my heart draw near to yours anymore
It's no longer familiar
What happened to “I’ll never leave you?”
Like the others who came before you
I guess we couldn’t make it to forever (forever)
And even though some of the best days of my life
are stuck behind me
I’ll still believe in the moments
I swear we had infinity
Goodbye perfect stranger
I used to know
Goodbye perfect stranger
I used to know
But now it’s dangerous
to let my heart draw near to yours anymore
It’s no longer familiar (x3)

I have to remind myself that
some birds aren't meant to be caged
Their feathers are just too bright
And when they fly away,
The part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up
does rejoice
But still,
The place you live in is that much more
drab and empty that they're gone
I guess I just miss my friend
I just miss my friend
But still, some birds aren't meant to be caged
I have to remind myself
(some birds aren't meant to be caged) (x3)
Their feathers are just too bright
