I know that it’s been
A while since I’ve checked in 

hope you know
How much it hurt For me
to let you go.

When you never wanted me to leave,
Wasn’t trying to make you grieve.

Every day is like a thousand more years between us.
You’re on my mind through all that time. 
Tell me, if I’m the only one hoping the clock rewinds.
But I can’t look back,
cause this future doesn’t have
a Time Machine. 

And I’m sure that by now,
my sorries are all out of style 

But for you, only you
I promised I’d go the extra mile.

Like when I ran Away 
just know I ran away,
So that we’d live, to meet 
another day.

Your heart I had to break
Know mine did the same,
All so we’d live, to meet again.

I could’ve loved you to death,
Our end was always a mess
A romantic tragedy

we could’ve breathed our last breath,
But I was never the best
at writing a sad story. 
so I had to leave. 
Cause this author likes, bittersweet. 
(like tears they weep)

And I’ll run, If you chase me,
And leave behind a paper trail
Pages I left for you along the way,
That lead us to a better place.
(A better place)

Though I came and went
and If our love is spent
I’ll still play back every moment
Wondering where you are.

Even if you hate me,
even when my heart kills me,
Guess that I could die happy 
Knowing you made it out.

So I’ll run, If you chase me,
And leave behind a paper trail
Pages I left for you along the way,
That lead us to a better place.
(A better place)

If I don’t look at you the same
I hope you find the pages that I dropped
Along the way,
that lead you to a better place.

Romeo and Juliet 
never had a happy end
They couldn’t let love die,
so it ended both of them instead.

Though its in cold blood.
I’m gonna have to kill this love,
To keep you safe, I’ll walk away.
so that you’ll live to see another day. 

I had to die to you, so you would follow
the footsteps of my ghost,
It wouldn’t lead you astray.
Maybe you’ll find me again one day,

at the end of my paper trail,
at the end of this fairytale.
But till then,
Its farewell.
