To Live a Life

I wrote you a letter

To make myself feel better

To redeem some part of me

I thought I had lost

And we were a lost cause

Long before we fell apart

'Cause honey, I was too eager

And you were too smart

And I look for you

In this empty room

You're a phone call away

I'm on the inner state

And I've been drinking cheap wine

Just to pass the time

I'm falling behind

And it doesn't matter

Who you are

To me

I'm just like my mother

We both love to run

Chasing possible things

Or unreachable dreams

Lie awake in the night

Thinking this can't be right

But there is no other way

To live a life alone

I'm alone now

Then suddenly we wake from this dream

That we have made

It's this you're, let once in there

It slowly fades

I'm raising in

To nothing I

Along miles away

I know it now

For my own sake

That I cannot stay
