Fences

We used to talk for hours

The days moved slow and nothing mattered

You were all my world was missing

But in your heart things were different

We'd get close, you'd move backwards

Should've seen all the patterns

'Cause every time you gave me hope

You just rip it all away

At the end of every road

And I'm not afraid to say

I know that it's time for me to let go

Of the person that I hoped you'd be

I've been praying for a miracle

Now I'm just left with putting up fences

It's hard to draw the boundaries

When every single line is where you found me

I need to finally move past

Drowning in the memories and the flashbacks

We were running from it all

We were yelling in the rain

Every 4 a.m. call always leaving us in pain

Now I know that it's time for me to let go

Of the person that I hoped you'd be

I've been praying for a miracle

Now I'm just left with putting up fences

And it hurts to know our history

It's fading like a photograph

I'm lost in your apologies

Now I'm just left with putting up fences

We'd get close, you'd move backwards

Should've seen all the patterns

I don't know what you're after

But now we're strangers (now we're strangers)

We'd get close, you'd move backwards

Should've seen all the patterns

I don't know what you're after

But now we're strangers (now we're strangers)

And I know that it's time for me to let go

Of the person that I hoped you'd be

I've been praying for a miracle

Now I'm just left with putting up fences

And it hurts to know our history

It's fading like a photograph

I'm lost in your apologies

Now I'm just left with putting up fences
