Oh, I guess that if it has to wilt away so soon, so be it
It's sad that we had everything
But simply didn't see it
'Cause it was beautiful, y'know
Oh, it would melt the coldest snow
And it was red, and blue, and gold
And somehow it didn't show that it was fading
And now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth saving
Cause I put oil on our fire
Just a drop every night
Just enough to keep us on the verge
Of barely getting by
And you still act like you don't notice
And I know I should ask why
But I know exactly what you do
You sit there and you sigh
And then you make me feel like I'm the problem
And then I'd probably cry
And then you'd feel bad and say you're sorry
And then you'll say you'll try
And then we'll go 'round and around like broken records
And I'll keep pouring fuel on embers
Well, hold on tight to us
When it's so darn obvious
That our flame is dead, but we play pretend
Last night I gave up on what we started
Since the day you left
I've learned to forgive but not forget
Well, all of the heartache came
This is my message in a bottle
