like we used to

we don't work like we used to no more

got to so long before we could say goodbye

saved our words for ourselves

a novel idea at the time

and i'm on fire

telling you i'll be fine

and i don't know who i'm writing this for

but i fear you're not too far behind

anything i say now will make it all feel a lie

but i've never been so damn alive

i won't slip through the cracks if i don't ever look back

and i won't crash if i hear you're alright

but all this time passing over us like i ain't getting older

we're too good for each other tonight

when you told me i wasn't the same

i kept hoping you'd change your mind

we were both never warned and it's a shame that we tried

when the real problem is how i couldn't change mine

and we can handle the heat of a flame

but there is only ever so much light

there's a calm in each storm

and there's a fall in each fight

and we couldn't find space in the lights

i won't slip through the cracks if i don't ever look back

and i won't crash if i hear you're alright

but all this time passing over us like i ain't getting older

we're too good for each other tonight
