Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the 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
[PreChorus]
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fallout
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 the twist of fate when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
[Chorus]
Next chapter
[Verse 2]
How'd we end up this way
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy?
And you're doing your best to avoid me
[Verse 3]
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should've held me
[PreChorus]
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 the twist of fate when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
[Bridge]
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 armor down
If you said you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wished 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?
But I don't know what to say
Since the twist of fate when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
[Chorus]
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 the twist of fate 'cause we're going down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
[Outro]
The end
