Lyrics
Excuse me as I fade away
Like a dream before she wakes
Hush, don't lie for me
(These lights will only wane)
I am bleek and so cliche
As I dine alone in my dismay
She's un-phased and unafraid
In the back of a cafe
Oh, woe is me

We were happy once
Is all I can say
As I realized
That I am now a memory

We were born to go our separate ways
How cruel can life really be
And these thoughts of you keep me awake
But now I just want to sleep
When I look at you I see a dream
A dream of what we use to be
We were born to go our separate ways
You're tearing yourself from me

And somethings are better left unsaid
Like the truth or every teary-eyed goodbye
When your words dance across split swollen lips
Funny how I can still taste apathy

We were happy once
Is all I can say
As you realize
That you are now a memory

We were born to go our separate ways
How cruel can life really be
And these thoughts of you keep me awake
But now I just want to sleep
When I look at you I see a dream
A dream of what we use to be
We were born to go our separate ways
You're tearing yourself from me

We were happy once
We were happy once
We were happy once
We were happy...

I breathe in
I exhale
It seeps in
It leaves ill

I breath in
I exhale
It seeps in
It leaves ill

I breath in
I exhale
It seeps in
It leaves ill

I breathe in
I breathe in
I breathe in

We were born to go...
We were born to go our separate ways
How cruel can life really be
And these thoughts of you keep me awake
But now I just want to sleep
When I look at you I see a dream
A dream of what we use to be
We were born to go our separate ways
You're tearing yourself from me

(We were happy, oh so happy)
You're tearing yourself from me
