lyrics

It's been 5 weeks since we called it off
It never seems quite real
I've never known any different
I don't know what to feel
But I get the sense it's for the greater good

After 5 months it all makes sense
So many things went wrong
We failed to find that we both failed
We put it off too long
And we both knew but we could never bring it up

Now it's 5 years later and we've both moved on
A total falling out
After we put each other through such hell
We're living better now
I would not have it any other way

50 years have come and gone
Now a mural commemorates
The war we forced each other through
Just to reach a stalemate
In the end we both took so much hurt

A century has passed since us
And nobody can recognize
Anything that marks our strife
It's all been vandalized
Just as though it never happened at all


We thought we were the special ones
We thought the endless search was done
In time we proved each other wrong
Our fall had drawn out far too long

'Cause every fight
Put the end in sight
With every flag at half mast
It's all too plain to see
Our time has passed

I'll never know why we trade such hurt
Lost tempers, neglect, and threatening words
I could have died in seconds from your bullet
But I slowly bled from the bayonet


Took so long to speak of breaking
While it lingered on our minds
Our thoughts were lost trying to find an answer
With words we couldn't find

I still can't comprehend
Why it took so long to end

I watched all of it slip right
From my hands and out of sight
Remaining hope was drained with every fight

So many times things went to shit
We said it would be the last
Picked ourselves up claiming to be fine
Forgetting hope had surely passed

I still find it strange
We couldn't figure how to change

It's hard to justify
The things we did, the things we tried
It's best call it quits for you and I


It's still confusing to tell
If this never happened would we be as well?
It's always been hard to articulate
The feelings I hold of our fate

I remember when we lost touch
On all of those nights that we drank too much
We woke up together sick and hoarse
Hungover with all the remorse

I see with better eyes
That you're now some person I don't recognize
Our wine has turned into vinegar
Let's break every bottle of hurt

The lessons I've managed to save
They'll stay with me all the way to the grave
I'm cursed with the memory of our regrets
Still haunted while you forget


Scarred by the faults
That caused us to die
It's the mark that I wear
And I wear it with pride
