what was i to you?

there are different kinds of loneliness

and i have always been good

good at raising up the drawbridges

good at knocking on wood

i could make myself invisible

i could be a better liar

anything would be better

than to sit here and wonder

what was i to you?

some kind of life lesson?

or something worth forgetting?

just a stray you let in?

what was i to you?

a stain on your perfect record?

a slip

a blip

a wrong chord?

i get why you had to go

but the thing i really want to know

is what was i to you?

i can't claim what i gave away

keep the fire but not the flame

feel my face on your face again

hey

hey

you know i've told you this a

thousand times

except i never press 'send'

but anything would be better

than to sit here and wonder

what was i to you?

some kind of life lesson?

or something worth forgetting?

just a stray you let in?

what was i to you?

a scratch on your favourite record?

a slip

a blip

a wrong chord?

i get why you had to go

but the thing i really want to know

is what was i to you?

just in case you were ever wondering

what you were to me

you were the biggest let-down

the one

who got the power just by being so weak

you wasted all my time

moved on at the

speed of light

i don't know what to believe

i remember everything you said

that night inside our tent by the torchlight

do you remember how i made you laugh?

you said

'i hope i die before you'

i remember walking through a forest

you said that you thought we might be dreaming

then we made it to the top of a waterfall

and we jumped down hand-in-hand and screaming

remember the feeling

remember the feeling

remember the feeling

what was i to you?
