Ricochet

 Let me into all of those reasons

The reasons why we couldn't make this work

Paint me a picture if you can't speak up

I know better than to make you feel worse

But every time I look at your face

I hope I haven't made another mistake

Your hair's pulled back in a ponytail

Tied up in the scarf I made

Even if you lied about your name

I didn't think it would end this way

Now all we do and all we say

Does nothing more than ricochet

What do I say that we're drifting apart?

Drifting farther than I ever thought

Even my bad memories stopped playing their part

I don't regret my time with you at all

And every time you look at my face

I see those eyes which one first place

My hair's pulled back in a ponytail

Tied up in the scarf you made

In all my dreams you took his place

I hate that you were my crusade

Now all that's left is an empty space

Where even my nightmares ricochet

Hey now, I probably loved you the worst

And now I'm everything you feared

All I wish for for you

Is you find what you looking for

The walls turn to glass, it's such a shame

You were always a stones throw away

I hope my dreams will drift away

On a silver boat set to sail

I'll come back to this town someday

Without feeling bitter and out of taste

Like fireworks you lit up my darkest days

And watched all my shame ricochet.
