Highlight Reel

[Verse 1]
I didn’t start at the beginning
I loved you way before then
And for a while I was winning
Much more than a friend
And through our best years
I’d rely on finding your hand there

[Verse 2]
But I’m not easy to get used to
And with time I wore you out
I wasn’t trying to accuse you
Why be calm when you can shout
And then you said goodbye
Why try at all
If all you do is try

[Middle eight]
Nothing ends at the end
And when you said we’d still be friends
You were gutted by the spite in my eye
Now I sit and wait until
I find out if a scar can kill
And every evening feels like the day that I will

[Verse 3]
But on the inside of my eyelids
The best it felt is how I feel
No matter what you said
Or I did
We’re all over my highlight reel
The hurting fades so fast
But each echo of the good is louder than the last
The heartache’s out of sight
But I’ll kiss you for the first time again tonight
